Does the problem also occur without the PPA?

I suspect the hang may be due to Workstation failing to release an X server
grab.

In order to get more information about this crash, can you try:

* Power on the VM.
* Log in remotely via ssh, and attach gdb to the VM's vmware-vmx process. You
may
  need to enter 'handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint' at the gdb prompt to prevent
gdb
  from constantly interrupting the VM from executing.
* Enter 'continue' at the gdb prompt, and start the game in the VM.
* After the crash, enter 'bt full' at the gdb prompt, and attach the resulting
output.

Make sure debugging symbols are available for
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/r600_dri.so, e.g. by installing the
libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg package.
