NTE won't launch or crashes after installing — how to fix?

**Common fixes:**

1. **Check system requirements** — Make sure your device meets minimum specs

2. **Update GPU drivers** — Get the latest NVIDIA/AMD drivers

3. **Verify game files** — Use the launcher's "Repair" function

4. **Disable antivirus temporarily** — Some antivirus may flag game files

5. **Run as administrator** — Right-click → Run as administrator

6. **Clear temp files** — Delete NTE temp files in `AppData\Local\Temp`

If none of these work, try a clean reinstall. See the [uninstall guide](/faq/how-to-uninstall-nte).
