How can I solve the following problem? I have attached the relevant files below. Thanks for your help.
Vmware.LOG
Moderator edit by wila: Moved thread from Technical Community Resources to Workstation Pro discussions and put the log snippet in a spoiler
Any clues as to which Workstation version you are using?
And what guest OS you are running in the VM?
And what you were doing when it happened?
And any changes you made since it last worked?
And any troubleshooting steps you've already taken?
Windows 7 x64 - 4 GB Ram
Workstation 16.x
hangs when opening the game. last time i encountered the same error 4 minutes ago

I haven't made any changes. I can't fix the problem as I also don't know how to fix it. My English is a little bad. Sorry 😞
Hi,
One thing to try is to disable 3D hardware acceleration on the VM.
If that doesn't help then please attach a full vmware.log file, not just a few lines so that we don't have to ask 20 questions.
PS: You probably have to zip/compress the log file for being able to attach it here.

I looked at your log and don't see anything out of the ordinary.
If there's somebody else who can help, then they still need that same log file though.
There's a chance that the mkssandbox.log has some additional information as well.

Yes, having mksSandbox.log would be helpful. It should tell us more about the reason for the crash and why Workstation is picking up Intel integrated GPU over NVIDIA.

You need to keep 3D hardware acceleration enabled to run 3D games in the VM.
On dual-GPU systems like yours, you need to make sure Workstation is picking the High performance GPU (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 in your case) over the Power saving GPU. This should give you better performance, but more importantly, potentially fix the crash.
On your host OS, go to Settings -> Display settings -> scroll down to reveal Graphic settings.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\x64\mksSandbox.exe" Classic app to the list and then hit the Options button. Pick High performance option and Save. It should look like this:
If it still crashes, please attach vmware.log and mksSandbox.log.
