Running VMWare workstation player on top of workstation player

Hello,

So I'm currently running an Ubuntu 20.4 VM on top of Windows 10 using workstation player, I'm using this VM to run GNS3 for network virtualization. Now, GNS3 uses a VM to run certain type of images (qemus for example) so I installed workstation player on the Ubuntu to run the VM, however whenever I try to start said VM, I get the regular warning of reduced performance for running workstation player on a VM, but after that the program crashes. Did any of you had this kind of issues?

thanks and regards!
