MacOS Sierra Performance

It seems that most of the crippling usability issues have been solved, however the DisplayLink Manager is continually using almost 100% CPU now...

EDIT

I've just restarted and it seems better now, although I can confirm that things like Mission Control cause the displayserver to crash and the user is logged out.

Hi,

I have updated the Sierra FAQ with the status with 10.12.1: http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...cos-10-12-sier

Shad0wcat I think we've got the 100% CPU issue nailed finally, we're working on that now. The next release should address it.

Regards,
Carlo

Carlo, great to hear about that CPU issue.

I'll raise a bug report with Apple about the windowserver crashing..

Hi Shadowcat,

We have checked the first developer beta of 10.12.2 and we cannot reproduce the Mission Control crash anymore.
Since this kind of issues is related to timings, the result may be different for different systems so would be great to know how it looks for everyone else.

Also, the internal screen not waking from sleep seems to be OK now (only affected a few systems).

Regards,
Carlo

Dear Carlo, I am still holding updating my Mac OS to Sierra (10.12) because of the problems. Do you mean the Sierra 10.12.2 will solve most of the issues even with your current driver (ver. 2.6)? If so, I can just wait for the official release of Mac OS 12.2.2 by Apple. Or, the issues can be solved only by the combination of Mac OS 10.12.2 plus your next updated driver (ver. 2.6.1 or 2.7)? If the latte is correct, please tell us when is the expected date of your release of the new driver?

I just installed the beta and am seeing the same, it looks like this horrible bug may finally be fixed!

I've only tried it a few minutes, but had no crash or logout swiping between desktops.

Now that I've used it a bit, it's still not 100%.

The logout bug is gone, but glitches remain.
- It's still not very smooth and a bit choppy when moving around
- Dragging things to another display results in black windows until you click on another app or something

With the new Mac Book pro´s that only have USB-c, I don't think Apple will ever support anything over USB3. It's not really in their interest, and would be out-of-character. I don't know how much support Apple provided before; but if there was any, I think it will stop now.
