Latest DisplayLink drivers and DirectX fullscreen errors

[aprimatic]

Hello !

Any heads-up regarding this problem ? Unfortunately, the latest drivers release last week does not seem address the fullscreen issue with some DirectX applications

Thanks for the 7.5M1 update though !

Regards

Damn, I was really hoping it would. Thanks for the heads up though, so I don't have to try :/

It's been almost two months since the last reply. No response whatsoever. Not even a heads up saying they're looking into this. Not anything

I've been talking everyone out off buying stuff from Displaylink. Their products are clearly broken in terms of functionality

DisplayLink, can we at least get an answer if this is even going to get solved at all? Or have you given up on this issue?

I would also like an update on this issue.

I agree. I am experiencing - for over a year now - Problems with StarCraft II which I can only use in windowed full screen mode when the drivers are installed. I tried unplugging, deactivating the service and even the usb-entry in the registry path I deactivated. But only uninstalling helps.

Interesting thing is: When I reinstall the drivers I can still use StarCraft II in full screen mode. Only AFTER I connected one monitor I no longer can use full screen mode. It then also does not help to unplug everything and stop the displayLink service (and restart).

Anyway, since I am not playing on the attached monitors but on my primary big scree connected via HDIM I'd prefere something else than always un- and reinstalling everything. That's not what i bought this product for!

So, when can we expect a fix for this?

I am dissapointed about this situation too. Found out solution using Fullscreenizer for some games (tested on Mass Effect and Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior). For the StarCraft II I have no problem. Works like charm.

That's a really good tip! I'll try that out when I get my laptop back.

Again though, I would love an update on the issue - even if it's just to say "no fix possible", at least then we'd know.
