I went ahead and downloaded the game and played the first mission, I was not able to get the issue replicated, meaning that the game ran ok for the time I was playing.

 

Attached you can find the dxdiag report for the device used to perform the tests and some

 

screenshots as well.

 

My recommendation will be to install the latest graphics drivers from your OEM and test the behavior of your system.

 

Before doing this you can do the following:

 

1. Access the device manager (windows key + x and look for device manager).

 

2. Look for display adapters, double click on it and look for Intel® HD Graphics 4600

 

3. Right-click on it and select properties.

 

4. Go to driver tab and uninstall the driver, making sure you select "Delete driver software for this device"

 

5. Restart your system and install the OEM drivers.

 

Another option will be to reinstall the game, some corruption could have been present while installing it the first time.

 

There are different models for the HP Envy 17, for that reason I was not able to find the specific drivers to be used, please go ahead and download the correct drivers from http://support.hp.com/us-en http://support.hp.com/us-en

 

You should be able to see the correct model in msinfo32 report (search for "msinfor32 and click on "System information")

 

If the problem persists, you can test the behavior of your system with the generic drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25951/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-?product=81496 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25951/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-?product=81496

 

System information from device used on the tests (nearest configuration available):

 

System Model: Dell XPS 15 9530

 

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4702HQ

 

Memory: 16384MB RAM

 

DirectX Version: 12

 

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

 

Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

 

Driver Version: 20.19.15.4380 (earlier than provided above)

 

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

 

Display Memory: 10135 MB

 

Driver Version: 10.18.13.6472

 

If you are still not able to get this to work properly after following the troubleshooting above, my recommendation will be to contact the manufacturer of your device as well as the developers of the game for possible troubleshooting available from their end.

 

Finally, if any additional questions or inquiries are present, feel free to contact us back.

 

Regards,
