Using an AMD Graphics Card?

CakeMix AI Companions
A downloadable game

* Special Note for AMD GPU Users on Windows

If the game’s AI runs only on CPU (extremely slow), it means the runtime is failing to use your graphics card. By default it tries CUDA (NVIDIA only), then AMD HIP (not supported on Windows), and finally falls back to CPU.

To fix this:

  1. Open the CakeMix install folder.
  2. Find the folder named windows-hip.
  3. Rename it (e.g. windows-hip.bak) or delete it.
  4. Restart CakeMix. It will now use Vulkan on your AMD card, which is much faster.

This change is safe, because HIP doesn’t work on Windows anyway. And... This only affects the game’s AI runtime. Do not touch any HIP or AMD folders outside the game install folder.

Let me know if you have any troubles with this. I don't have an AMD card to test with, so your input really helps!
