I had same experience. This is dump from error_log:
[27-Feb-2018 14:56:23 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'unknown engine ' in /home/vhost07321/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/Cdnfsd_Core.php:48

Because on Performance -> General Settings -> CDN -> FST CDN Type -> Cloudflare is chosen from dropdown but control is disabled, below the line:
$engine = $c->get_string( 'cdnfsd.engine' );
I added following code to file wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/Cdnfsd_Core.php
if ( empty( $engine ) ) {
$engine = 'cloudflare';
}
I hope W3TC will release proper fix for this.
Cheers,
Aleksandar
I had no choice and moved to supercache plugin, the only problem with this one is that it doesn’t preload pages on mobile only on desktop
Aleksandar, thank you! I would have never figured that one out in a million years!
If your still having issues you can also try disabling(setting to 0) the fsd cdn option in the master.php under wp-content/w3tc-config.

I’m also still having this issue. Using the most recent version of WordPress and the plugin.
