Same issue here. Running Arch Linux kernel "5.14.16-arch1-1", video is "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (rev 07)", Vmware Workstation ver. 16.2.1 build-18811642. The issue started after update fo 16.2.1

There are two workarounds I've found so far:

1. Disable 3D acceleration in VM
2. Use Xorg instead of Wayland. In Xorg everything works fine even with 3D acceleration enabled.
