Gazebo crash on launch on VMWare on Mac, Ubuntu 16.04, Kinetic

I know that this comes up a lot and there are answers but I've not been able to solve this. Let me give my specific case:

  • macbook pro
  • vmware fusion 11
  • vm configured with 8gig, 3d acceleration
  • ubuntu 16.04
  • full kinetic install (includes gazebo)
  • simple simple simulation case crashes

Do you have any clue that could help me troubleshoot?
