DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Games Crash or Blank Flicker even when not plugged in

Just got the Targus Displaylink adapter and tried using latest 6.3 release and 7 beta.

Displaylink is working fine for standard Windows applications.

Games don't work at all. Even if I unplug the USB DisplayLink adapter. In one case, the game crashed. With a different game, all I see is a flickering black screen which allows me to see my desktop as it flickers between that and a black screen. All this is on the native display without the USB displaylink plugged in. (Same results when it IS plugged in as well)

I have to uninstall the DisplayLink Core Software to get games to work again on my native display.

Currently using with a Dell XPS 15z laptop with Intel Graphics + nVidia 525M adapter using Optimus.

All running latest released drivers.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
