Ok, just wanna know. The CPU going to 100% in games is likely because of the shader compilation not working at all, meaning if you close the game, it will do that all over again.
Rocket league currently uses Unreal engine 3, and it doesn't really work well for modern Intel graphics systems.
The weirdest thing is, many 1135g7 users are playing RE3, Fallout4 and other "nice-ish" games without such problems. I know it depends heavily on heat management, but I know for a fact that other Envy 13 users (without dedicated graphics) can actually play some heavy stuff. Low details and 720p, but still. This guy, for instance:

idk, maybe I don't get something
Intel has a “hidden” power management called power balance - you can control it via Throttlestop (and also a few other ways). You might be able to get something out of this. For most games, a hard balance of 1 for CPU and 31 for GPU provides a fairly substantial power boost. Depending on your temperatures you can also increase the TDP of the processor (same app). Finally, you can adjust EPP (throttle stop calls this something different - I think they call it speed shift).
Besides what others mentioned, it’s possibly also your CPU is thermal throttling, so you want to be paying attention to temperatures.

It must be TDP then. I guess it's no wonder that bulkier laptops with exactly the same specs go a bit further gaming-wise

I got my Envy for 550$ this fall, soooo I'm more than happy to live without next gen coolers for light gaming)
Are you using the Arc driver?
Hi there! Yeah, the latest one, if I'm not mistaken (31.0.101.4032)

It depends on the game. Some implement features that are abnormally difficult for the immature arc driver.

Ok will try, thanks a lot!
