During testing I have found that 25H2 on Linux is particularly unstable especially with Wayland based desktop environments. VMware have acknowledged these issues. For the best environment I rolled back to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Workstation 17.6.4 and have not had any issues with it.
Broadcom's list of supported host OS is here https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=80807
There is a VMware bug that is not directly related to OC4VM but has been seen when running a macOS VM.
If you look in the vmware.log file you will see a message:
Third party host clock rate has already been set
Apparently this is a known issue at Broadcom, https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/desktop-hypervisors/workstation-pro/25H2/release-notes/vmware-workstation-pro-25h2-release-notes.html.
(From https://www.reddit.com/r/vmware/comments/1obdvqh/error_occur_after_vmware_25h2_update/)
To fix it add this line to the VMX file:
mks.enableVulkanPresentation = "FALSE"
