VMware: vmw_ioctl_command error Invalid argument.

Hi!

I have a problem with VMware® Workstation 12 Player 12.5.1 build-4542065.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit and Qt 5.7 with OpenGL.

I created a simple project with OpenGL.

The project crashes in run-time with an error message "VMware: vmw_ioctl_command error Invalid argument.".

If I turn off "3D graphics/Accelerate 3D graphics" then the error dissapear, but it works very slow. It isn't the solution.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Regards, Maksim

I fixed the issue by myself.

I turned off OpenGL 3.3 by setting the environment variable SVGA_VGPU10=0.

It will work as OpenGL 2.1.
