You're welcome, and me just guessing that it not being able to run on 16.x is just speculation since I don't know most of the factors that are going into it, since for whatever reason, all the current Windows installations I have don't seem to run games. I'm still trying to find a good solution to this, but I appreciate your comments!

My apologies for making it confusing; I'm not sure how to really word it. So basically, a version 15.x virtual machine running on 16.x works fine, while a 16.x virtual machine doesn't seem to run games. I'll check more onto this. I'm using Player, and I'm definitely considering updating to Pro at some point, but right now I'm sparingly using it so I can't really justify it at the moment. I'm unsure if it had a feature upgrade or not, but it plays games just fine so I'm not sure what's going on. I guess it could probably be relating to 3D acceleration, but I could be wrong.

From the last time I checked, I believe that they ran using a version 15.x VM on player 16.x. I should have specified that the games outright don't launch when I try to run them; my bad. As for the versions, my current build for my host OS is 19042.867, while the guest OS were on Windows XP, 7, and 10 (haven't checked which version yet).

Hello; I thought I'd make a post about this since I'm a bit perplexed by what's going on with this issue. So I've recently updated my VMware Workstation Player to 16 and made a new virtual machine, mostly so I could play some old games utilizing DirectX 6 I have that don't work under normal circumstances, and for some reason, a handful of games I'm trying to run don't seem to be running on it. I find this odd since they seemed to work perfectly fine under 15.x VM versions so unless something went under the hood, I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix it. If anybody has a guide or something on how to get past this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it.
