3dMark01 hard crashes VMware workstation. #16

Trying to run the first lobby benchmark of 3dMark01SE under VMware workstation pro 17.0.2 build-21581411 causes the models to not appear and eventually crash the VM. Attached below is the log and screenshot. 3dmark err 3dmark err.log

Hi, models missing, because missing vertex shaders support. 3DMark 2001 + 03 works well only in VirtualBox with VMSVGA10 on.

The crash of the virtual machine should not happen, but it is possible that the graphics stack was confused enough to crash. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to run 3DMark2003/03 in VMware :-(

Hi, is this meant with or without HW acceleration?

Asking because 3D Mark 2001 SE apparently has a failback. It shows lobby models with MaxShaderModelVS=0, HW acceleration enabled and VMSVGA10 on. Yet framerate varies a lot, like min 6 and peaking at 30-ish on my machine.

Edit: However it crashes on test 4, the nature one.
