Game stuttering when installed on secondary drive?
Troubleshooting5 tags
Multiple players report severe FPS drops when NTE is installed on a non-OS drive. The fix is to move the game to your C: drive (the same drive as your operating system). Here is how: 1) Locate the game install path in the launcher settings; 2) Move or re-download game files to a folder on your C: drive; 3) Restart the game and verify files. This has resolved stuttering from under 30 FPS to smooth gameplay for many affected players. If your C: drive is low on space, try freeing up at least 50 GB before moving the game.
