Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Looking forward to the workaround. In my case, that's all that's needed!

Thanks!

Dear DisplayLink macOS users,

We are aware that installing macOS version 10.13.4 will cause DisplayLink connected displays to go blank after the OS upgrade, with the latest DisplayLink driver release 4.1 installed. Extended displays continue to work as expected in macOS 10.13.3, and we recommend that you stay on macOS 10.13.3 or earlier if you require this feature, and have not already upgraded. Functionality such as Ethernet and audio, where implemented, is unaffected.

Our team has made some solid progress towards finding a solution which would restore extended display support in a future release of macOS. We are still unable to provide a timeframe or a date for release of this solution.
Meanwhile, we have been developing a partial workaround solution which would add one extended USB display (up to 1080p) on macOS 10.13.4. We are aiming to release a preview version of this driver in around 7 to 10 days. The precise date depends on how the solution performs under deeper and wider testing, and how long it takes to resolve remaining issues. We expect the driver to enable one extended 1080p screen, and one cloned screen connected to a DisplayLink device. There may be some other functional limitations.
The new alpha driver will be posted online as soon as possible.

Until then, DisplayLink driver 4.3 Beta 2 enables clone mode, but not extended mode displays in 10.13.4.

We will update this thread as soon as we have further details to share.
Thank you for your continued patience and we appreciate your feedback and support.

Thank you DisplayLink. One extended USB display would be great.

That is complete and utter horse sh$t! Seriously, you may have a solution with a future MacOS update? Really? Maybe one extended monitor? Terrible....

Yeah - until you know more about the details as to why this happened, I wouldn't be casting blame at DisplayLink.

No change in 10.13.5 Beta 3.

I'm with you. They may have a solution in 7-10 days, that is total BS. Fix the issue already, it's gone on long enough.

I guess we all agree. Just four weeks away from the 10.13.5 release – possibly during the WWDC or shortly after – and there is still no solid fix.

Dear DisplayLink devs, hopefully, you'll be at WWDC and address this mess directly to Craig Federighi and Tim Cook.

Please, DisplayLink guys, let's finish this torture. I have my three Dell 27" screens claiming for a solution. mirror them or extend one of them means nothing and of course doesn't help

Developer beta installed.

Anything for us to try?
