Do you get any error-message or specific behavior? I would also need a "System-" report from you via the "System-Meeter-Bar" to check your hardware specifications and drivers ( https://www.app-smb.com/download.html ). Please provide the needed information.

Yepp, thats what i needed.

So the problem is your notebook does not use your dedicated GPU for the game but the incompatible integrated GPU. If you can not find a way to force the notebook to use your dedicated Nvidia GPU for running the game, try to connect an extra monitor to your notebook. Anything displayed via that, will sue the dedicated GPu and the game will run.

The issue of the starting problem is the usage of the Intel IGPU on your internal notebook screen. The games engine is core incompatible to it.
