That narrows it down. You might want to post your specs and be more specific.
If you laptop if heating up it's more likely your laptop needs a clean or isn't upto scratch.

My wife plays this on her "laptop" and it runs fine

The solution is simple. Clean your laptop.

Could be uncapped frame rate. Should check that first.

Only kinda related but when I bought my laptop I found out that its own fan system was insufficient for cooling while gaming, so I bought an external fan/vacuum that goes over the fan vents and it works pretty well. Obviously I have no clue what kind of laptop you use but you may need an external cooling system to keep it from overheating while gaming.

What are your specs? You really should not be having issues because I play this on my Steam Deck. Also, do you set it on a bed or an area that blocks air flow?

The laptop is a thinkpad p1 Gen 4 with i9 processor and mobile 3080 RTX with 16gb vram. I play the game only when the laptop is on a table with sufficient airflow. The game needs to be optimized.

The game does get some rather gnarly fps drops from what I have been reading online.

Haven't tried the recent home-warming build, but yeah. There is a strange multiplayer bug, where after a while, the fps just tanks, and won't recover even if you restart the game. The issue doesn't show in singleplayer. Not sure what to make of that, but that might be part of your issue.
The topic was making rounds a while ago, if ya curious (before this update).

Worse thing I deal with is textures not loading.

Wow ... just wow, this game's performance is very good as far as I can see, but sure, blame the game, not the laptop...

not to mention, any laptop will heat up while gaming ...

Wonder if it's fixed in newer builds? Personally have ~63h. Also, not the host.

While I agree to your statement, It's easier to diagnose software related issues first, before jumping to extreme conclusions, such as tearing your laptop apart. This is furthered by someone inexperienced in the field.
The lack of details from OP sure doesn't really help either.

I think you need to step back and calm down. There is no need to blindly defend your position like a fanatic. I have a beefy laptop. Maybe you should have spent a few minutes to read my replies. I was asking the Developer and not you. And if you have critical reading skills you will understand that I was not blaming the game in fact I know it is the game.

If I may add my own experience to this -- 7 Days to Die is infamous case for me. On my old, absolute ♥♥♥♥ laptop, it ran perfectly fine. On newer, far better hardware, it chugs frames. No matter what settings, it won't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run fine. "4 zombies on screen? Best I can do is 10 fps".
Sometimes I truly wonder what happened to optimization in games (L4D2 ran hundreds of zombies on screen, and not even a dent in fps. Sure graphics are a things, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.)

Edit for clarification: The swear words are for emphasis.
