How to Fix Lag, Stuttering, and Crashes
If NTE is running poorly on your device, try running through this troubleshooting checklist:
- Check the recommended system requirements
- Lower your in-game graphics settings
- Try logging in on another device (Sync fix)
- Restart your PC or smartphone
- Close background applications
- Prevent your device from overheating
Check the Minimum & Recommended Specs
To play NTE comfortably, your PC or smartphone needs to meet or exceed the minimum system requirements. If the game suddenly crashes or refuses to load, it is likely due to insufficient hardware performance or low storage space. Double-check your device's specifications to ensure it can handle the game.
Storage Requirements & Recommended SpecsLower Your Graphics Settings
If the game is stuttering or dropping frames, lowering the frame rate and visual quality is the fastest way to reduce the load on your device. You can tweak detailed graphical settings by navigating to Menu > Options (Gear Icon).
| Tip! | The Menu button is located in the top right corner of the screen. Shortcuts: Press the Esc key on PC, the OPTIONS button on a PlayStation controller, or the Menu button on an Xbox controller to open it instantly. |

Try Logging In on Another Device
Occasionally, the game might crash due to a synchronization error between the server and your account. Logging into your NTE account on a different device can sometimes force the servers to correct the sync issue, allowing you to play normally on your original device again.
Restart Your Device
If the game feels unusually sluggish, a simple device restart can work wonders. Restarting clears your system's temporary memory and can fix minor launch errors or memory leaks.
Close Background Applications
Having too many apps running in the background will drain your device's RAM and processing power. Before launching NTE, close any unused software on your PC. If you are playing on a smartphone, force-quit your background apps.
Prevent Your Device From Overheating
Thermal throttling is a common cause of lag! When your PC or smartphone gets too hot, it intentionally slows down to prevent damage. Remove thick phone cases, play in a cool environment, or use a cooling fan to maintain smooth gameplay.

Best Image Quality Settings
Adjust these settings based on your hardware. Graphics Quality and Frame Rate have the heaviest impact on overall game performance. Other settings like Anti-Aliasing (AA), Post-Processing, and Render Resolution handle visual flair like lighting, water reflections, and jagged edges.

Match Your Frame Rate (FPS) to Your Monitor
It is generally best to cap your in-game frame rate to match your monitor's maximum refresh rate. Try playing at both 30 FPS and 60 FPS. If you don't notice a visual difference in smoothness, keep it capped at 30 FPS to save battery life and prevent your device from overheating!
Play in Borderless Window Mode (PC)
NTE supports a Borderless Window display mode on PC. This feature stretches the game across your entire screen while functioning like a window, making it much easier and more comfortable to move your mouse cursor to a second monitor without minimizing the game.
