HUGE fps drops :(

[c.atpicture]

Hi, I've been playing on a laptop with pretty consistent frames, but sometimes the game dips down to like 1-5 fps for a long time, and I'm not sure why. My laptop isn't awful, and can usually run this game and others fine. I've checked task manager and don't see anything out of the ordinary, this game gets my ram at like 60% tho, idk if that's bad.
My specs:

Intel Iris Xe I would think that would put you very close to extreme side of the min requirements that and 8GB system ram and the iGPU fighting for little ram

60% I would close as much as possible when playing the game that and check the settings try lowering them or use resolution scale if possible hopefully you can get it sorted

i would say your first issue lies in having chosen an Intel GPU, but the cause is probably the developer's choice to ship denuvo DRM software, which is known to cause frame drops and slowdowns even on decent hardware suited to task
