A fork of nte-ray-tracing-panel by llg1634, which was originally built for the Chinese client only. This fork patches the tool to work with the NTE Global PC release.
Tested and working on NVIDIA RTX 4060.
GPU spoofing is done entirely inside the game process via OptiScaler's DXGI/Streamline hooks. The system-wide GPU registry is never touched.
The following programs must be closed before using the tool, or the installation will fail:
- NTE and its launcher (
NTEGlobalLauncher.exe) — the tool needs to write to the game directory while it is not running. - MSI Afterburner / RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) — these hook DXGI at the same layer as OptiScaler.
- Process Monitor (Procmon) — its kernel filter driver (
PROCMON) intercepts file operations at a low level and can cause the install to silently fail. The tool shows a warning in the Machine Status card if it detects the driver is loaded. A full reboot clears it.
- Go to the Releases page and download the latest
NTERayTracingPanel.exe. - Right click the file and
Run as Administrator. - A browser tab opens automatically at
http://127.0.0.1:22642. If it doesn't, open that URL manually. - In the Game Path card, click Select and if different from default, navigate to your NTE install folder (e.g.
C:\Program Files\Neverness To Everness\NTEGlobal), or paste the path directly and click Detect. - In the OptiScaler card, click Download / Prepare OptiScaler and wait for it to finish. You should see a version if installed correctly. In case it fails or gives an error, press Exit Tool then close the browser and try again.
- In the Ray Tracing Unlock card, choose a target GPU profile:
- RTX 5080M — default, recommended
- RTX 4090 — alternative
- Local (current GPU) — use this only if you already have a supported GPU and want to restore normal identity
- Leave the mode on DXGI (default). Only switch to Full Experimental if DXGI mode fails.
- Click Backup and Install Ray Tracing Unlock.
- Launch the game. You should see Optiscaler on the bottom left if everything is installed correctly. Go to Settings → Graphics — ray tracing and path tracing options should now be visible.
To undo: open the tool, go to Backup & Restore, select the latest backup, and click Restore.

- Added
NTEGlobalGame.exeandNTEGame.exeto the game executable detection candidates alongside the originalHTGame.exe - Default install path now pre-filled as
C:\Program Files\Neverness To Everness\Client\WindowsNoEditor\HT\Binaries\Win64\HTGame.exe— the tool auto-detects and pre-populates the path field on startup without any user input in most cases - Auto-detection now searches
Program Files\Neverness To Everness,Program Files (x86)\Neverness To Everness, and theNTEGlobalsubdirectory on every drive, in addition to the original drive-root-only scan - Process kill and detection lists updated to include
NTEGlobalLauncher,NTEGlobalBrowser, andNTEGlobalWebBooster TargetProcessNameinOptiScaler.iniis now written dynamically from whichever executable was actually found on disk, instead of being hardcoded

Search Keywords: How to enable ray tracing in NTE, NTE ray tracing fix, NTE path tracing unlock, NTE ray tracing option missing, NTE ray tracing not showing, NTE ray tracing won't open, NTE RTX 5060 no ray tracing, NTE RTX 4060 ray tracing, NTE one-click ray tracing unlock, NTE one-click install, NTE OptiScaler one-click setup, NTE winmm.dll install, NTE unlock ray tracing without registry edits.
The NTE Ray Tracing Panel (异环光追一键部署面板) is a local WebUI tool designed to solve issues like "How to enable ray tracing in NTE" or "Why is the ray tracing option missing?" It automates the preparation of OptiScaler, installs the local winmm.dll and OptiScaler.ini, and turns the verified GPU spoofing process into an automated, selectable, and reversible one-click workflow.
Note: This is not an online service; it runs entirely on your local machine. The web page handles the display, directory selection, and execution, while the Python/exe backend handles the server at 127.0.0.1:22642, downloads OptiScaler, writes files, and manages backups. Closing the browser tab will not stop the backend service. You must click "Exit Tool" in the panel or end NTERayTracingPanel.exe via Task Manager.
The focus of this project is not to be a "Generic Mod Manager," but to turn the specific ray tracing unlock path for Neverness To Everness into a reusable process:
- Whitelist Issue: The current NTE test version hides ray tracing options based on a GPU model whitelist.
- Verified Solution: Using OptiScaler DXGI/Streamline to spoof a whitelisted GPU successfully unlocks the in-game options.
- Safety: Modifying the system-wide GPU registry affects the entire OS and is unsuitable for primary development machines.
- Local Scope: This tool defaults to writing local proxy files only within the game's Win64 directory and provides manifest-based backups and restoration.
Many RTX 50/40/30 series cards support ray tracing, but the NTE test version hides the "Ray Tracing / Path Tracing" options based on a whitelist.
This tool uses OptiScaler's DXGI/Streamline GPU spoofing to disguise the GPU name seen by HTGame.exe or for the global version NTEGlobalGame.exe as a targeted whitelist model. The WebUI currently offers three profiles: Original Configuration, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. This method has been verified to unlock the ray tracing settings in-game.
- No intrusive tools: Does not use ProcMon, Sysmon, driver monitors, or kernel hooking tools.
- No Registry Edits: By default, it does not modify HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI.
- Focused Scope: Manages only these files within the game directory:
- winmm.dll
- OptiScaler.ini
- OptiScaler.log
- OptiScaler\ folder
- Legacy compatibility backups: dlsstweaks.ini, dlsstweaks.log
- Automated Backups: Creates a _nte_rt_backups<timestamp>\manifest.json before every installation.
- Safe Restoration: Restores files strictly according to the manifest to avoid deleting non-tool files.
The tool consists of two layers:
- Frontend WebUI: The browser page for status and commands.
- Backend Service: NTERayTracingPanel.exe (or python app.py), which listens to the port and performs file operations.
Closing the browser tab will not free up port 22642. To exit, click "Exit Tool" at the bottom of the WebUI. If you already closed the page, navigate back to http://127.0.0.1:22642 to exit, or kill the process in Task Manager.
In the "Backup & Restore" card on the page, select your most recent backup and click Restore. Alternatively, use the command line:
python app.py --no-browserThen use the WebUI to restore the specific backup.
OptiScaler's GPU spoofing overrides the GPU description, VendorId, DeviceId, and VRAM information that the game process reads via DXGI/Streamline. This tool generates configurations based on your selection:
- Original: Reads your actual NVIDIA name and DeviceId (for reverting).
- RTX 4090: SpoofedGPUName=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, SpoofedDeviceId=0x2684.
- RTX 5080M: SpoofedGPUName=NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, SpoofedDeviceId=0x2C59.
All profiles maintain these safe defaults:
- TargetProcessName=HTGame.exe
- SpoofedVendorId=0x10de
- Dxgi=true
- StreamlineSpoofing=true
- Registry=false
- User32=false
Difference from Registry Hacks: While registry hacks affect the entire system, DXGI spoofing only takes effect when the local proxy DLL is loaded by HTGame.exe.
- OptiScaler: The core source of the GPU spoofing functionality. This panel fetches OptiScaler.dll from official releases and installs it as a winmm.dll proxy.
- DLSSTweaks: A related graphics wrapper tool. This project does not use DLSSTweaks for DLSS scaling but recognizes existing dlsstweaks.ini/log files during backup to avoid overwriting your experimental files.
This project is not OptiScaler itself, nor a fork of DLSSTweaks, nor an official NVIDIA tool; it is a dedicated installation and management panel for NTE built around OptiScaler.
