Arch Linux下VMware Workstation Player 17非root启动失败问题求助

我刚在Arch Linux上装了VMware Workstation Player 17，现在遇到个头疼的问题：只有用sudo在终端里启动它才能正常运行，普通用户身份启动的话就直接卡壳了。

具体情况是这样的：不用root启动时，会弹出“Welcome to VMware Player”的界面，我选择免费使用后点击“Finish”，界面完全没反应。如果在终端里以普通用户身份执行vmplayer，输入密码后会输出以下内容：

[user@computer ~]$ vmplayer

[AppLoader] Use shipped PC/SC Lite smart card framework.

An up-to-date "pcsc-lite-libs" or "libpcsclite1" package from your system is preferred.

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml"

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ====

Authentication is needed to run `/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-setup-helper' as the super user

Authenticating as: user

Password:

polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie

==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ====

Error executing command as another user: Not authorized

This incident has been reported.

而用sudo vmplayer启动时，终端输出是这样的，能正常进入程序：

[user@computer ~]$ sudo vmplayer

[sudo] password for user:

[AppLoader] Use shipped PC/SC Lite smart card framework.

An up-to-date "pcsc-lite-libs" or "libpcsclite1" package from your system is preferred.

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml"

难道我必须用root身份运行它吗？总感觉这样做不太安全，实在不想一直用root启动。如果这是个bug或者配置问题，有没有办法修复，让普通用户也能正常启动VMware Player呢？求各位大佬帮忙！
