Discuss the 5.2.4 release here.
You can download the release here.
Mainly a regression-fix release for 5.2.2.

During update of VirtualBox Extension Pack:

5.2.4 seems to fix the 3D acceleration issues I've been having recently, e.g. as discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85559.

However you MUST install the 5.2.4 GAs, otherwise the hang/overflow problems persist.

The hashes are missing for this release. Would someone upload them?

thx

Same thing happened to me.

Downloading and installing it manually worked fine.

It would be nice if I could download it, but I get the following error:

When i create a vm, the program crashes, "VirtualBox Manager has stopped working"

Did you have that issue before? Did it work with 5.2.2? Please answer here with a simple "Yes" or "No". I've temporarily locked the other thread that you created in the "Windows Hosts" section. What will happen to that thread depends on your answer.

Hi,

Not sure if I have posted in the correct place, but my older version of Virtual box (5.1.14) has been working perfectly in Windows 10 up to yesterday when my PC did the Fall Creator's Update from Microsoft. Since then, and despite updating to 5.2.4 I get the following error, see attached screenshot. The virtual machine is Windows 7 32 bit running a single program that must run in a 32 bit environment. The same applies to my other PC's (laptops), although the result code is the same, E_FAIL (0x80004005), the laptops both state Component: MachineWrap, Interface: IMachine {etc etc}

Can anybody assist please.

Thanks

Tony

Discard the saved state of the error VM. In general, avoid updating VirtualBox while you have VMs in a suspended/saved state, as the saved state data is not necessarily cross version compatible, and this is certainly not helped if the host OS changed too.

Many thanks,

I have had to do just that, discard the existing VM, re-create a new one and reload the OS. Now the problem of getting it to activate....

Tony

I said to discard the saved state (right click VM in UI, choose "Discard saved state"), not discard the VM.

Yes,

My apologies, I have discovered that it can be remedied by this means, and picks up on the VM again when started. I assumed discard meant delete, but that is not the case. Again Many thanks.

Tony

I have removed all my VMs, but cannot install the extension pack. I get this error:

Any ideas for Windows 10 64 bit?
