Performance under 10.12.6?
Wondering if anyone can report experiences with DisplayLink and macOS 10.12.6? I haven't seen anything here or on the web about this.
I'm currently on 10.12.5 and wondering if I should upgrade. Experiencing some issues currently (windows on DisplayLink-connected monitor will frequently go blank when not active, until I resize or otherwise cause the app to update the window contents). Hoping that 10.12.6 may have fixed this problem, or at least not made anything worse. My setup: DisplayLink driver v 3.1, 2015 MacBook Air, Warpia SWP800 DisplayLink adapter (USB to DVI). Thanks, Justin |

In our tests 10.12.6 behaves exactly as 10.12.5, which unfortunately means that the issues introduced in 10.12.4 are still there. Given the major (and mostly positive) changes in 10.13 I think it's unlikely Apple will change much in further 10.12.x releases unfortunately. Best regards, Carlo |

Thanks, Carlo!
FYI, for others out there, also received this email from someone else at DisplayLink: Hi Justin, Thanks for your enqiry, If your setup is working well, i would hold off updating where possible. Some users have experienced issues when using 10.12.6 . There is a driver architecture change when macOS 10.13 comes out along with DisplayLink 4.0 software.

Hi Justin,
Yes I had a chat with James, he still did not know the results of the tests on 10.12.6. Unfortunately since 10.12.4 the user experience for anyone with a discrete graphics card is appalling. This includes me! Thank you for letting me know. Carlo |

I'm still att 10.12.3, but I have a Macbook Pro 2012 12" with just the HD-graphics card. Is it safe to upgrade, or should I wait for the 10.13 update? The external display is crucial for my work.

Firefox and Royal TSX is not working under 10.12.6.
Safari works. WeChat is not working as well. |
