Are you on wayland maybe? (what DE/WM are you on?) I am not able to reproduce the issue but after some research, it's probably due to MV using a very old version of electron. One common suggestion I see is adding --no-sandbox args. You also need to export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 for the backend to start, (which the AUR package does for you)

I'd like for naxess to release the project files to the source tree, so I could perhaps fork and try to update the version of electron and send a PR.

Came here to report the same issue, above works with .tar.gz

Seems like the issue is fixed, and given we will update alot with 2.0 release this mostlikely won't be an issue anymore. Closing this for now, please reopen if you still have this issue with the 2.0 release that will come soon.
