3d App crashes VMWare Fusion Windows app but Parallels works fine

I have a 3d simulation app called STK from AGI.com.

guest OS is Windows 10. with 8 GB memory and 2 GB of video RAM.

it works fine under Parallels, but under certain situations, crashes the app on VMWare Fusion VM but Parallels has no problem.

the graphics test application shows a lot of failures on VMWare Tools, but again, Parallels all work fine.

are the graphic drivers incomplete on VMWare Fusion?

Hi ,

It would be great for triage/debug if you can attach the vmware.log from your VM folder to this thread. We will see what's going on with this app.

Thanks,

-Rick

i looked through it and didn't see any references to the graphics drivers, but then i could have overlooked it.
