When I try to open the game it says I don't meet the requirements

[evahicks36]

I am on a laptop that has an intel i7 and my graphics are fully up to date. I'm on a 64-bit as well. I don't know why it wont let me open the game even though I meet the specs. Ive tried checking if anything needs an update and updated everything fully.

...depending on which chipset you have, that could be as much as 17 years old by now. In another year, the first i7s are old enough to be able to vote.

If you can't open the game at all I would guess it's a VRAM issue.
8GB of VRAM will get you into the game and play mostly fine, so I'd imagine you're on 6GB or below if that's an issue. An i7 doesn't guarantee any kind of performance it's just the upper mid-range of Intel's product stack. Im assuming by "Graphics up to date" you mean that your graphics drivers are up to date, not that your laptop is using 50 Series / Strix Point APUs, cause if that was the case you'd be able to run the game no problem. If you post your full specs I could probably figure out what component(s) are too outdated or weak, and if everything really is powerful enough to run Rivals, we can move on to other potential issues.

( Press the windows key and type "About your pc" click on "About your PC" and press "copy" next to "Device Specifications" to copy your full specs then paste into this discussion ).

It's a shame that you often need relatively recent hardware to even run brand new games, and it's completely fair to be upset that your system isn't able to run it. No shame in not being a total Pc gaming nerd to know about this stuff : )

Keep in mind that integrated Intel graphics by default do NOT at all meet minimum requirements.
