    Hi

    we have upgraded our VxRail cluster to the latest 8.3 version and vmtools is updated so we're deployed it automatically

    vmtools v12.5 seems to cause a video card issue and breaks FME completely. see the FME article on it:

    FME Workbench and other FME Form software broken by VMWare Tools | Community

    There is a workaround to add an environment variable 

    SVGA_ALLOW_LLVMPIPE=0

    which does fix it for the time being.

    Anyone else seeing this? Worth raising here as well as on the FME forums.

    thanks
