Cant start POE in VMware workstation pro 16

[bobfromuk]

Hi,

I want to login to multiple accounts, but after installing Win 10 in VMWare Workstation 16 Pro, I get an error

Createbuffer: the parameter is incorrect.

Any suggestions on this?
running a 3080, tried vulkan, directX11, no joy with either.

Ok, I figured it out.

I instaleld VMWare Workstation 14 initially.
Then upgraded to 16 pro.

The VM (win10) was installed using WS14.
Shut down the VM, right click it in the library, click manage > change hardware compatability.
select VMware workstation 16.
Launch the VM, and POE works.

maybe useful if anyone has the same issue in the future.

If you are JUST opening multiple clients (and not doing anything else), you can just run the client in Windows more than once. I do it all the time to run 2 accounts regularly.

I run 6
2 per VM, and 2 on the host.

Six clients per computer, not banned?......Excuse my English

I upgraded from 15.5 to version 16 and there was a problem when starting the virtual machine "no 3d support is available from the host". This causes severe lags inside vm
