Troubleshooting

When things go wrong, start here. Each page walks through diagnostics for a specific symptom.

By symptom

• Gamepad Not Detected — virtual gamepad doesn’t appear in games, ViGEm/HidHide issues
• Model Won’t Load — ONNX errors, missing classes, “model failed to load”
• Low FPS — AI loop running below 60 FPS, lag, input feels heavy
• OCR Not Working — Tesseract data, region setup, garbage results
• Controller Aim Has No Effect — virtual right-stick doesn’t move the in-game camera

General first-aid

Before diving into a specific page, try these:

1. Toggle Global Active off and back on. Resets the AI loop, capture, and senders.
2. Reload the config. Cogwheel → Open Quick Config. Clears any in-memory state divergence.
3. Restart PowerAim. Especially useful after driver installs (ViGEm, HidHide).
4. Restart as admin. Title bar → “Restart as admin” button. Some operations (Device Disable, HidHide management) require elevation.
5. Check the in-app log. Sidebar → Logs. PowerAim writes diagnostic output there.
6. Run the Performance Benchmark. Models tab → Run Benchmark. Confirms inference path is healthy.

If none of those help, find the relevant troubleshooting page below — most include checklists you can walk through.

Reporting bugs

Found something the docs don’t cover? Open an issue at github.com/fgilde/AI-Ming/issues. Include:

• PowerAim version (visible on the About page)
• Build flavor (DirectML / CUDA)
• Windows version
• GPU + driver version
• A short repro
• Bonus: a replay buffer export of the moment things went wrong
