Re: Game crashes when loading any lots??
@jasjanken Okay, given how new your laptop is, it's best to use the latest Nvidia graphics driver (and the latest Intel graphics driver) HP offers, rather than the newest one directly from Nvidia. Laptop manufactureres often tweak these drivers to run better on their products. And in the case of systems with dual cards, as yours has, the two drivers are usually tweaked a bit to work better with each other as well.
First, download and install the most recent Intel graphics driver, as yours is a bit older:
Restart your computer, and download the Nvidia driver you linked. You're going to need to clean uninstall your current one and install the HP one instead. Download Display Driver Uninstaller from here:

Next, take your computer completely offline—disable wifi and/or pull the ethernet cord—and double-click the DDU.exe. Take note of where the file will land, and click Extract. If it's easier, you can copy the path and then paste it into the address bar in a File Explorer window. Open the folder and then launch Display Driver Uninstaller.exe, and you'll get a message that you're not in Safe Mode. Click OK, then go to Options and enable Safe Mode dialog. Here's a screenshot of what your options should look like; make sure the box in red is checked:
Close options, and the DDU, and then open the DDU.exe again. For launch options, choose "Safe Mode (Recommended)," and then click Reboot to Safe Mode (you'll need your password, so find it before rebooting). Once you login, you'll see this:
In the blue box, choose GPU, then Nvidia if it's not already showing. Then click Clean and Restart (red box).
Once your computer has rebooted, now back in normal mode, run the driver install .exe in custom mode. Select "perform a clean installation" and install ONLY the GPU driver and the PHYSX software.
Reboot again, go back online, and see whether the game works normally. If not, let me know.
