Volt not starting on Archlinux

[hideraimu]

When I execute volt in the terminal it outputs:
volt: /build/glfw/sec/glfw-3.2.1/src/window.c:774: glfwSetWindowUserPointer: Assertion window !=NULL' failed.

Aborted (core dumped)

Executing the downloaded volt executable in my file manager also doesn't do anything.

EDIT: After some research it seems that this happens because the application requires OpenGL 3.2.1 but my machine has version 2.1. Is there a workaround to this or can the developer downgrade the OpenGL requirement?

Manjaro xfce, chose to install either glfw-x11 or glfw-wayland, errors occurred when try to start volt from terminal.
for x11:
volt: /build/glfw/src/glfw-3.2.1/src/window.c:774: glfwSetWindowUserPointer: Assertionwindow != NULL' failed.
`
for wayland, error message is similar.

Manually installing either glfw-x11-git or glfw-wayland-git, and start, it gives:
exiting from os.exit(): Failed to initialize glad OpenGL context

Same thing here, however no output is sent, it initializes a window then simply segfaults.

Manjaro-i3, glfw-x11-3.2.1, OpenGL version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 418.43

Same problem on Archlinux with glfw-x11 package :

Volt starts and crashes in one second, the output is only :

exiting from os.exit():

Same error appearing on Manjaro KDE 18.0.4 64-bit. Probably the same bug that's mentioned and fixed here.

Same issue here! Arch (Manjaro 18.x KDE).
glfw-x11 package : Volt starts and crashes in one second, the output is only:
exiting from os.exit():

For volt 0.80.4 and glfw 3.3 it still gives the same output.

[hideraimu]

Same error appearing on Manjaro KDE 18.0.4 64-bit. Probably the same bug that's mentioned and fixed here.

But that 'bug' was from more than a year ago and it's claimed to be fixed. I and I assume other posters here too have latest versions which still have this problem.

@medvednikov Any update on this thread's issue?

After installing glfw-x11 on arch, I also have a window initializing for a second and then a segfault. I do get the output (once):

initial setup...
done!

I saw that it was missing the .voltapp/chats directory, but creating it didn't help.
