Anki2.1 Failing to Start Up

I'm unsure of when this happened, but last week for sure it was working just fine. Recently I opened up Anki to find that it gave me this traceback error:

Error during startup:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 50, in __init__
    self.setupUI()
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 75, in setupUI
    self.setupMainWindow()
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 584, in setupMainWindow
    tweb = self.toolbarWeb = aqt.webview.AnkiWebView()
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/webview.py", line 114, in __init__
    self.focusProxy().installEventFilter(self)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'installEventFilter'

I decided to try downgrading to see if that fixed the issue, going all the way back to `anki-2.1.0beta29-1-any.pkg.tar.xz', and still no results. It's probably because I'm a complete python noob that I cannot decipher this from the traceback, but it seems to me that the issue is with one of the dependencies (and if I had to guess it, PyQt). Any suggestions on what I may need to temporarily downgrade or less patchy solutions?

Hmmm... Seems like Anki 2.1.0beta39 is simply incompatible with Qt 5.11. I'd have to downgrade all those packages to get it to work. Thanks loqs.

How exactly you downgrade? I see only 5.11.0-1 in my pacman -U, downgrading qt5-base-5.11.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz doesn't help.

"Looks like"? You would have had to specifically do it.

I don't have my old packages. I recently cleared the cache.
