getting blank screen running SWTOR w/ fusion 8.0, windows 10

I've previously run this game successfully via bootcamp on windows 7. 

I've since removed the bootcamp partition, so installed Windows 10 via Fusion 8.  The game installs and patches fine.  When I go to play it, I get a blank screen, with a mouse cursor, and background music.  I've seen many threads about this problem (mostly dating back to 2012, with a few in 2014) describing this exact same problem.  Some of these people were running SWTOR on a VM w/ a Mac host....some people were running this on a native PC.  The problem solution in all of these cases appears to be "update your drivers".  Now since I'm running this on a VM, I assume I need vmware supplied drivers (via the vmware tools installation). And so...I'm stuck.   I came across this thread Paying 1000$ for anyone that can get SWTOR working on VMWare Workstation, and saw that vmware was aware of the issue for Windows 8, and supplied updated drivers. 

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
