even if it might not be the only (or main) reason let's just remember what the warning about --force says:
Code:
You can use --force to override this, but do not report related errors.

Do NOT report errors when using --force... and yes I know you "need" to use it with a broken system/setup, but fix the system first (e.g. by using for instance ubuntu on the main host system without vm).

First thing I'd check is your hcccapx is formatted correctly vs the example hashes.

The hccapx is a binary file, not so easy to check manually. Try to crack the example from here:

https://hashcat.net/misc/example_hashes/hashcat.hccapx

Password is hashcat! (with the !)
