LibreOffice 25.8.3.2 HELP!

On November 15, 2025, I installed the latest version of LibreOffice and, since then, I’ve had 3 corrupted databases: one about Movies, another about Books, and another about Countries.

I still had some time with the first one working, which gave me time to notice that the macro module had a different font, leading me to conclude that there were changes in this new version and that they messed with things that weren’t absolutely necessary. Then the file failed, I lost contact with the application, and the screen went completely white. The window to try to recover the document appeared, without success, and I had to “Close the program”. But it was only possible to close the application using the “Task Manager”. From then on, whenever I tried to open any LibreOffice application (Writer, Calc), the document recovery window appeared. This happened several times and I had to “Discard everything” in the recovery window and reject the document recovery data in order to continue using the computer.
Then the same thing happened with the other databases and I’m starting to go crazy with this new version 25.8.3.2 of LibreOffice. I even tried with an older backup version and the same thing happened again.
Since the program doesn’t offer me the possibility to go back to the old version, I ask:

  • Where can I download the version I used, 25.8.2.2?

Thank you.

Download LibreOffice | LibreOffice - Free and private office suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

Older versions of LibreOffice (no longer updated!) are available in the archive

Thank you for the information, but the path you provided only leads me to an index of older versions and doesn’t allow any downloads.

would you mind clicking on them to browse through ?

Index of /libreoffice/old/25.8.2.2

Okay. Thanks for your reply. I was looking for version 25.8.2.2, which was the version I had before the last update, but I think 25.2.7 should also work because this new 25.8.3.2 must have serious problems. And my advice to anyone using Base is DO NOT UPDATE!
I’ll let you know if it worked.

I’ve already completely uninstalled LibreOffice from my computer and even manually deleted all the files that were still in “Program Files,” but I can’t install version 25.2.7.2 because the installation wizard displays a message saying that a newer version was found and that I need to remove it - which I’ve already done!

I don’t understand! I can’t find any files anymore after uninstalling. Any ideas? Thanks!

Okay. I had to do a fresh uninstall of the new version 25.8.3.2 (which no longer existed) and it worked. I was able to install the old version 25.2.7 and I have Base working again. I was able to open and see that the 3 “corrupted” databases were okay, with no data loss.Thank you for your support.
