Ah, thanks. Similar with what I found.

Quoting: GuestSo I tried compiling Mesa myself for the first time. Before I used the ppa referenced in the news article on GoL. I used your script @Shmerl but that did not work. I built the newest version of meson 0.51 but it kept looping endlessly on regenerating build files. Then I figured it is due to the compiler option meson --native-files and I deleted that. After that everything compiled and I tried launching vulkaninfo and games with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and VK_ICD_FILENAMES referenced to the build but all die saying bad driver.
What am I missing?

Just FYI, the script assumes you place your built Mesa in /opt/mesa-${mesa_branch} (which is normally /opt/mesa-master).

My custom Mesa deployment looks like this:

I recommend placing it there, since configured paths are written in the built files.

You can change the location in the build script if you want to place it somewhere else.

I managed to get Outlast 2 to work with vanilla wine without using the staging patches.

EDIT: Far Cry 4 is another title that can no longer work if the staging patches are
applied.

I just tried Mad Max with the backend branch/commit d271fd and it worked.

This was trivial to set up in Gentoo. I took the existing mesa-9999 ebuild, copied it to mesa-9999-r1.ebuild and changed the git address in the file to point at ACO's repo. Once I recompiled (and keyworded llvm/clang v8 to ~amd64), everything worked.

On AMD Raven Ridge hardware (Ryzen 5 2400G), this has been a night-and-day difference. Games like No Man's Sky (beta Vulkan renderer) would crash after loading all shaders due to the lag required to build motion blur on the fly. This not only solved that issue, but I'm able to do 30fps with all settings maxed, when before it was a complete slideshow. On emulators such as Cemu and Dolphin, shaders are compiling fast enough that I don't even have to run through each Mario Kart 8 level once to build a sufficient shader cache.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider tested with Proton, Highest settings:

Average FPS:
LLVM = 50.1
ACO = 52.8

Not that much of a difference in terms of average FPS, but the ACO frametimes still look better:

Still not working for me, I am running the vulkan beta tho of it, dunno theorethically it should work.

I've should have thought of that. I'll try it out. I was indeed using the games default opengl renderer.

Star Citizen gives me a gpu hang on my vega 56, I created an issue for it https://github.com/daniel-schuermann/mesa/issues/70

It's actually a bug in Meson 0.51.1. See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5505

It's fixed in Meson master, but 0.51.1 is broken with temporary native config files the way I was using it.
