Latest DisplayLink drivers and DirectX fullscreen errors

[R4wizard]

Hey Guys,
Just made an account to report my findings after a friend who works in your IT department informed me that some of my issues may have been caused by my DL device.

I tried to start developing a game using the Unreal Engine 4, however the 'launcher' to download the engine wouldn't even open and just hung using massive amounts of CPU. I assumed this issue was something to do with my slightly older hardware or the fact im using an APU, so I dismissed it and moved on.

I have now tried the following things and managed to get it to work:

1. I stopped the DL service, still didn't work.
2. I removed the DL device from my USB port, still didn't work.
3. I uninstalled the DL drivers using the uninstall tool and now the launcher works fine!

I would be happy to see a fix for this, and/or a method for disabling the driver quickly as I quite enjoy using my USB monitor but I also enjoy playing and making games! Let me know if there is any further information I can provide.

You can download the unreal engine 4 launcher from: https://www.unrealengine.com (you do not need to pay to download the launcher, only to login, but you can't get as far as to login with a DL monitor attached, and the UE logs are useless for debugging)

All the best guys and good luck with the fix!

(P.S. I have reported this as a bug with UE4 too: https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...aunchshow.html)
