Hello,
I am having a problem with remote VMs running on ESXi server after upgrading my host resolution to 4K 3840x2160.
I use vmware Workstaion to connect to a remote ESXi server to console into vms. Recently after switching my resolution to 4K, AutoFit guest resolution seems not to be working. If I switch back to 1080p or even 2560x1600 (on the host) the AutoFit function works again. I went through the ui-log file and I can see some errors with the guest resolution.
The following is when the host resolution is 2560x1600 (also with 1080p):

Local vms work fine with all resolutions.
Any idea?
Thanks
