When connecting to my school's VMware ESXi 7.0.1 server with Workstation Pro 16, vmui always crashes. Workstaion Pro on Windows connects without problems. VMware Player also connects fine on both Linux and Windows. The error log is pasted below. So far, I have tested this on both the latest Kali Linux and Ubuntu. This error existed when 16 was initially released. I didn't find find any bug reports, so I thought it's time for me to make an account and at least make the community aware of it.
I can provide more logs if needed.
If it matters, I do have a valid VMware Workstation Pro subscription from my school, but this forum account isn't associated to it. This crash happens anyways whether the product is registered or not.
