I have also deactivated it until the problems are resolved.

Did anyone try to:
1. Reupload style.css file from a theme back up (for those who do not have styles applied at all now)
2. Reinstal the w3tc plugin (delete current, delete tables, install and set up from start – I do not have a test site I cannot have nowhere try it)
I use the plugin but I am glad I saw these forums about the recent problems before I updated! The plugin page says that it’s broken (85 votes). I went to the plugin website there isn’t anything described nor a mention, unless I was blind, wondering why because there are so many people with negative issues. Is it possible that the plugin right now is the way as Frederick intends it to be? Is there any forum post here where Frederick talks about a help or a fix or what to do??
Maybe we are missing something/s? Because in my WP plugins admin page under the plugin update prompt, next to the w3tc update in a pretty looking box, it states what’s copied here below:

for me the site breaks when you’re not logged in….
it looks like a file without a style.css (althoug it’s there…)
the non ative page caching can be solved by chmodding your .htaccess to 777 and clcik the notice to update your rewrites, that part works fine…
but still it breaks my site…
For anyone who’s experiencing problems with the newest version of W3Cache, this is most likely caused by the ‘minify mode’ set to ‘Auto’. Just disable the minify mode for now or set it to manual.
Also, make sure that new rules are correctly added to your configuration files. If your file permissions allow it this can be done automatically with a few mouse clicks.
Turning the minify mode to “manual” doesn’t fix the missing CSS problem anyway.
Chris1288’s solution worked for me: “The problem is specific to the CSS minify settings, which is all you have to deactivate.”
Same problem here. I just disabled minify CSS.
Disable minify mode or set it to manual, write cache rules, empty all caches then try again.. I got it working on 30+ cliënt sites, so you can too.
Yes is working if you disable CSS minify, but what have changed that new version dont work for css? I can confirm that on 4 different sites i have same problem and turning minify for CSS off will show my site without problem.
yeap… i’m haing the same issue. Glad i’m not alone.
Thank you Chris1288… “The problem is specific to the CSS minify settings, which is all you have to deactivate.” This solved it for me!
It break my sites when I am not logged, I think it is just becuase you have chosen a option “Don’t cacha logged user”. But now, my problem is I can’t get into Admin pages. All pages in admin dictionary can’t be visited , it just show a blank page……So, I have to reInstall my site with all
files and database, it is terribly suffering me. I hope it can work after reinstalling
Be careful. Your site may look normal when you are still logged in as administrator. Log out and look at your site to make sure Theme formatting has returned.
