    Hey! I'm hoping I can help you with this.

    Although your processor is much newer than what is recommended, the base clock speed is 0.3GHz lower.

    Laptops are built for power saving so they tend to have a wider range of potential speed, however it may prevent you from playing certain games.

    You could try the following -

    - Enable turbo boost mode to ensure your CPU is running faster than 2.2GHz when you launch the game
    - Change your power-saving settings to High Performance Mode

    Please keep in mind however that this will likely drain your battery life a lot quicker.

    I hope that helps!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are still experiencing this issue.

    You could try these PC troubleshooting steps here to see if it helps, however it's unlikely that it will as the main issue is your CPU does not meet the minimum requirements. You could also try lower the graphics settings in game.
