I'm having similar issues as the two posts above me. I rolled back to 5.1.1 and was able to get one of my monitors to work, but with 5.2.1 beta 3 I had and then lost my one functioning display when I tried to reinstall the drivers.

Using the latest drivers and the latest catalina update also did not work for me

I already posted my diagnostics. would really love to get some help here.

I have had exactly the same experience. I'll try the 5.1.1 solution and see how that goes.

Update: 5.1.1 gets both external displays working again (yay!), but I should note that the dock doesn't work on one, although that limitation I can live with.

After I updated to 10.15.1 on my MBPr 15 2018 - the display just blinks after plugging in the Dell 6000.

I am running the 5.2.1 Beta 3 drivers now. I tried to rollback to the 5.1.1 but the duel and single display (HTML) were blank.

Help!

Hi, I have the same issue as rarutu.
Right after apple Catalina Update (10.15.1) Display link stop working.
After Installing Catalina and before the last update the dual monitor and everything were working.
Beside the fact that i couldn't charge my MAC from DisplayLink anymore.
However after the 15.1 update nothing works anymore. Only mouse and Keyboard.
If i connect and disconnect the DisplayLink USB type C cable from my laptop and reconnect it My laptop monitor start to flicker like trying to connect to the external monitors. But the external monitors does not turn on.
In attachment there is my log.
It would be great if you could help pr release an update as i can use only the laptop monitor now which is very counter-productive.

Thank you!

@Cyfer

did u try to plug in the docking station first and after that the charging cable? right now this is how i use it ... 2 different setups ... both work with this "hack"

Update 2: The 5.2.1 version announced on 23rd Nov is installed and working, so far with no issues.
