Profit? (Heard that the 390 series of nvidia drivers isn't the best, so might drag my feet a bit. I don't absolutely need Vulkan, but it would be fun to play around with.)
FYI: I upgraded to the NVIDIA driver 396.18.02 while also doing a fresh install of Slackware (due to the mass rebuild), and wine suddenly refused to run any games, and it gave me different errors for different games. It was driving me nuts, because I thought a rebuild of wine would do the trick. It didn't. After some thought, I regressed to the previous version, 396.18, and all the problems disappeared.
Stick with 396.18 for now. The xxx.xx.02 version is not ready for prime time yet.
Maybe I should have clarified: I recommend sticking with 396.18 for those of us running the 4.16.x series of kernels. The kernels Slackware ships would, of course, work just fine with 390.48.
Hi Dugan
My GF just butchered your SlackBuild to get wine-staging+PBA built. Here is a link to it on her Google Drive, please feel free to beautify it and post it up somewhere for better access.
It works for us both and while I don't see any degradation in performance, everyone's mileage may of course vary.

Just out of curiosity are the wine d3d9 patches still needed for anything important, I know Alien Bob's slackbuild still includes them? https://github.com/sarnex/wine-d3d9-patches
Yes, they're used for gallium nine with wine which is clearly faster than the default opengl in wine since the conversion from d3d9 to opengl is a lot more expensive than just using d3d9 with meta's gallium nine. However this is only available for mesa users with amd or nvidia (nouveau) cards.
Is there a tutorial for using Dxvk and WINE? Seems like every version of WINE is different with respect to dxvk. (One needs to be using the beta Nvidia drivers, or is it driver-independent now?)
So for those using wine-pba, is it worth it? That is, if I have an older CPU, would it help? (I seem to be bottlenecked by it, not my GPU, which is a 1050ti.)

Your GF modified a Linux script? OMG does she have a sister?
