DisplayLink has worked for many months to maintain support for its users during the transition from macOS High Sierra to Mojave. While functionality such as Ethernet and audio or charging, where implemented, is unaffected on all releases, display connectivity has been limited on macOS releases from 10.13.4 through 10.13.6.

Developers/users with access to Apple's fifth developer preview of 10.14 Mojave, released on 30th July, will see full support has now been restored for multiple extended DisplayLink displays where DisplayLink driver v4.3 beta 5 is installed. We are doing wide scale testing of v4.3 beta against this preview and will release a new driver upon general availability of 10.14.

Users of 10.13.4-10.13.6 should also use v4.3 beta 5 as it contains a workaround to enable one extended USB display (720p or 1080p). An FAQ details how to enable Apple AirPlay with DisplayLink display for extend or mirror mode.

Users on macOS 10.13.3 and earlier should remain for the time being with DisplayLink driver 4.1 to maintain full extended display functionality.

We thank you for your extended patience, we continue to value your feedback and support.

Kind regards,
Alban

What is the plan for users who cannot upgrade to Mac OS Mojave?

This is the third time I have asked this question. Silence speaks volumes.

If there is not going to be a permanent fix for High Sierra, it is only proper that you let us know so that we can make some alternate plans.

That is simply because that has been answered already and it is totally inappropriate for me to comment on what another software vendor might or might not do in a future release, or even if they have any new release planned.

After testing completes in the next few days, we will issue a 4.3 release to allow more resolutions on 10.13.4+ than the current HD and FullHD.

Regards,
Alban

Apologies if I missed it.

But I have been back through the thread and see no answers regarding a possible solution for High Sierra users who cannot upgrade to Mojave because it will not support their hardware.

Haha, is 1st April. I doubt we will see a final version for 10.13.4+

DL concentrating on Mojave support, perhaps Apple backtracked a bit in Mojave on what they changed in 10.13.4+ that killed DL, who knows, but I doubt will not see anything more than a beta and res of 1080p in HS.

The good news is there are now 4k USB-C screens that you can daisy chain, they also have USB-A 3.0 on the back so you can plug in a USB-A to Ethernet adapter. You just plug your Mac in with the USB-C single cable, Screen Ethernet, Power - Good bye DL docks, goodbye crappy drivers.

Have a look at Lenovo ThinkVision P32u

Almost 9 months and no real fix, Display Link is a joke.

+1 on OSX support.

Mirroring or a single display is not "support" I can do that a number of different ways.

In our case we have very expensive human scale arms+docks that use displaylink. There is a very critical team within our company that runs an OSX based platform. The one issue, displaylink software. We've asked HumanScale to find another way, to get away from DisplayLink or at least give us another dock/OSX compatible option and to stop saying it's product is OSX compatible at all.

I joined the forum to make this one complaint. We've been waiting for new drivers since early 2018.

HumanScale MConnect2 with M8 Arms
They state OSX is "supported" and brochure pictures have a mac book pro in them.

OSX 10.13.6 today.

I've been watching this thread for months, and it has never been bigger. I know because I keep updating the page number in the bookmark link as it has grown so that it takes me to the last page and I can keep updated.
