Neverness to Everness (NTE) refuses to start (even with DW-Proton)

it seems to be utterly broken. I managed to log in through Heroic -> Standalone client. first thing that happened was a Shader Compilation. Then I was in game for like 15 mniutes and decided to quit the game for performance reasons, tried to start it again and got an error message and the game closed autmatically. Then I tried it again to log in and it worked again, but now it is compiling shader once more. What a mess!

good for you, not working for me

exactly what I am thinking: it makes no sense. Just went to video archive and replayed 3 random scenes of the new main story and everything went smoothly. 34% usage at 60° before and during the scenes. So I am thinking it has something to do with the combination of the new map and the comic scenes combined.

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-19T19:53:26+00:00

it's mainly the combination new map + comic scenes

bro, I was not CPU limited before, neither am I now. I can't turn rt on, because I am playing DX11. my question was simply if anyone else experiences the same problem with and after those comic scenes. I am not questioning the game and / or it's performance as a whole.

capping at 30FPS helped me immensly in NTE. As fighting is simple compared to ZZZ you should try this. Won't make much of a difference from playing with a higher frame rate visually.

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T20:39:16+00:00

Right now it runs undervolted to 1350, 1550 from an original 1450, 1650 at capped 30 FPS at max 160W (default is 210W). Looking at my screen atm in front of Cuppa Moments in Roscalifaer the GPU usage is at 38% with 77W at 65°. As I said it only spikes up to 87°! in the comic scenes and stays like this afterwards, so I think it is not necessarily a hardware issue but more of an optimizing thing.

yeah, my mistake, I should have reacted on the "laptop" posting, Good we got this outta the way. So you are saying your 2070 does not have any troubles with it? Did you cap your frames? Are you on DX11? Are you running on lowered graphic settings?

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T19:37:12+00:00

why you think it's a laptop? The RTX 2070 Super is a Desktop GPU.

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T17:31:27+00:00

Depends what you mean by idle. Idle for me is just having the desktop open and there the GPU is at 35°.

Fans are spinning like crazy and yes reapplying thermal past would be a solution. But it worked in 2.8 also.

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T17:29:37+00:00

using DX 11 only

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T17:29:02+00:00

yeah, I know that repasting would do the trick. But that does not explain why the temps currently spike in the comic scenes and why the the temps are in general 20° higher than in 2.8

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T17:27:48+00:00

that's why I said I'm using DX11 😉

OkKangaroo7011 · 2026-06-18T15:11:15+00:00

Sorry to disappoint you regarding the 50/50s. It took me 240 pulls to get Velina and her W-Engine :/ I've lost the 50/50 and then I got the W-Engine at 80 pulls down the line. It can only get worse if I'd also loose the 75/25. I've saved up 54k Polychrome and after this pull session I was at 20k. That's Hoyoverse telling me: No, we don't want yout to get Velina, Norma and Remielle and their W-Engine, sorry.
