Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

When will support for 1200x1600 portrait mode be added? I still can't use my portrait-landscape-portrait setup (which has cost me an arm and a leg).

Another vote for needing rotation soon!

YES

And more resolutions.

I appreciate the progress, but at this point I'm still having all types of issues.

I'm currently running a 2016 13" MacBook Pro on 10.13.5 Beta 5 with the latest DisplayLink Beta Driver 4.3 Beta 4.

I can get things up and running, but it seems that something crashes every few minutes as the displays go blank and then come back after 5 to 10 seconds.

I'm running two Dell P2016 monitors connected to a Startech DK30CH2DPPD via DisplayPort.

Looking forward to finally getting this resolved.

Last year, I was at a tech conference where Satya Nadella said "Over the coming years, we are deploying an aggressive strategy to increase our Windows user base significantly".

Now it makes sense.

Seriously though, my entire set up doesn't work anymore and cost me a ton of money, all to be undone by a MacOS update not playing nicely with DL software. This is a massive liability since I rely on it professionally. With this knowledge, I need to investigate what I can do as to not rely on DL software going forward. Even if DL fixes it for the current release version of MacOS, we could be having the same issue & conversation after the next MacOS update. My confidence in DL software for MacOS has - unfortunately - all but disappeared.

What is the ETA for a final release.

Betas are all well and good and we can see progress but we will not distribute a beta to our users.

What we need to see is more resolutions and easier setup.

Come on people please be patient! They will release a new version sometime within our lifetimes!

And let us try to be fair, it's not like they were aware of this issue since Mac OS X 10.13.4 Beta 1 was released on 1/24/2018.
