Iris Xe and Dark Souls 3 crashes

[MHIRO]

Hello everyone,

I just bought a Surface Laptop 4 i7 with CPU: Intel Core i7-1185G7 GPU: Intel Iris Xe, 16GB 

I am normally a console gamer (Switch) and wanted to try Dark Souls 3.  I heard some posts about people being able to run the game on Iris Xe on low settings.  I can't get the game to run for more than a few minutes before it crashes.  I know this is not a powerhouse gaming laptop but it seems like I have everything but the GPU for this game and was hoping someone could assist with this problem. 

I have reviewed a few other posts so wanted to include a few details about my system as well.  Maybe someone could take a look at see if I just don't have the guts to run this thing?

My driver is up to date.

I'm even using these custom low settings via Intel Gaming Command Center.  Sad I know.
