Since it was asked what the recommendation for Host is, I need to clarify that I DO NOT recommend anything in behalf of VMware. I have no ties to VMware or any other software company.

I was just mentioning - given the outspoken frustration - that if you need to get rid of the problem, a good way - which may or may not work - is to do something about the Host. There are two things, mentioned as the very first thing in my postings:

- change host OS. This is very quick and affordable if the target is Linux. Basically, it only requires one more system SSD-disk and knowledge on Linux. This allows an option to try this out, without committing to a change. If knowledge is missing, this is obviously a no-go.

- change hardware, as kind of speculated in the previous post. This isn't as simple as that. Hardware problems are typically hardware+driver problems. Thus changing the OS might be a more simple cure,  because the driver is also changing if OS is changed.

What I am SUGGESTING is that somebody would commit into a workflow, which would lead to investigating this bug situation and assigning a valid priority for the bug to get fixed. Based on the writings in this thread, there is no guarantee that we are talking about one single bug, there may be many different ones. Investigating in a meaningful way, requires to my understanding, a considerable amount of work and expertise. Logging in a bug report, requires some person with a bought VMware product with valid Support contract. This is something for a VMware employee to establish, how exactly this needs to be done.

The latest post in here suggests that the problem only happens with certain games, most likely Windows-only games. In that case, the way to go round this problem is quite obvious and requires only consideration what to do simultaneously. However, getting that kind of bug fixed, is still requiring the steps mentioned above, for investigation, prioritizing and bug fixing.

I hope that this clarifies the thing a bit. One shouldn't confuse different things, like a workaround suggestion, bug fixing, VMware company recommendations - they are not the same thing.
