I did launch the game once without the folder, just to make sure it worked before I put it in there. Also, I have tried getting rid of the FFXIV_CHR~~~ folder and at the same time lowered all the graphics settings to "none" or whatever the lowest settings are, and also used the smallest resolution 1024 x 768 in the game's system configuration. I also put the computer's power management in high performance mode and kept the computer plugged in during the whole time. Unfortunately, I still keep getting the same errors.

You are right about the laptop though. I am using a Dell Inspirion gaming laptop with nvidia geforce gtx 1050 gpu and 7th gen i5 cpu.
