so yeah how do i install older version
Offline
All the old mesa packages are kept here. You may also want to downgrade libvdpau-va-gl, and you can find those packages under the V folder on the same site. Download the .xst package and install it using pacman -U [filename].

so i can install the libvdpau but i cannot install mesa because it was already installed and when i want to uninstall it mesa was used by other packages so i cannot

You don't want to uninstall mesa, you want to replace it with the older version. pacman -U should so that in one invocation. Perhaps there are other packages that depend on the specific newer version is mesa, please post the exact error message so I can see what's going on. If that is the case, you'll have to downgrade those packages as well.

Actually i downgrade mesa because when i run games like counter strike 1.6 it feels so lag so do you have any alternative for that

Yes, those are the kind of errors I'd expect if you tried to remove mesa, so don't do that. As for the errors yet get trying to downgrade it, I suspect you need to downgrade libglvdn at the same time to the corresponding verion. Look here for the last date prior to date your mesa package was released.
Edit: Actually, having just looked at the dates myself, it looks like libglvnd didn't exist back when that version of mesa did. It seems mesa split out into the mesa and the libglvnd packages . I'm not actually sure of the best route forward in this case. If you were to remove libdlvnd it'll try to remove lots of other packages including mesa so if you recurse it'll want to remove all of the things that depend on mesa too at the very least. I know you can combine install and sync operations, but I don't know if you can combine remove and upgrade operations (seems you can't, if I construct such a command line it complains at me). Perhaps instead you need to use --overwrite options to make the -U succeed, then remove libglvnd, then check you've still got the conflcting files and re-U-ing your mesa file if not. But yeah, removing libglvnd on an uptodate system is likely to be problematic, since it'll want to knock out xorg-server and libreoffice at the very least. A simpler method overall might be picking an old mesa version from after the libglvld split, which is likely to remove a lot of these hurdles.

oh ok so im confused so what do you think i should do

Looks like I should avoid posting so late at night. Your version of mesa is dated 2019-03-19 21:08 and there is a libglvnd dated 2019-03-29 10:52, which is probably close enough to give it a go. Now these dates are just when a package got uploaded to the archive server, and I thought last night I spotted when the i486 and pentium4 package appeared, but looking today I can't see such a thing.

so what i should use that packages ?
Offline
btw i wanna ask why can't i install i686 packages but my arch is i686
Offline
What's saying you can't? All you've posted here so far is conflict errors, which aren't dependent on arch.
To actually install old mesa, I'd suggest downloading this glvnd and this mesa. First downgrade glvnd, then mesa. I'm reasonably confident this should work, though please report back either way.

so for example i tried to install x-cpu i686 release
and yeah
[athaya@ItsCraftArch i686]$ sudo pacman -U cpu-x-3.1.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)

and when i uname -a
[athaya@ItsCraftArch i686]$ uname -a

[athaya@ItsCraftArch i686]$
it says that i use i686 arch and it dosent make sense if i cannot install i686 packages in i686 machine and i can only install pentium4 packages
Offline
hey just wanna say i found the exact version but in pentium4 and it works thanks for your help !
