[solved]Vmplayer not running after update

So I got a 3 gigs update today (I did pacman -Syyu like yesterday so that was pretty unusual) and now vmplayer is not running anymore. I'd like to provide some output but I don't even know what... I see nothing related to this in dmesg nor in systemctl and the vmplayer cmd just doesn't do anything... No error, nothing...

I can start the modules:

 unkn0wn@archie{~}:sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
Stopping VMware services:
   VMware Authentication Daemon                                       done

   Virtual machine communication interface                            done
   Virtual machine monitor                                            done
   Blocking file system                                               done

Any idea about that?

solved by reinstalling vmplayer...
