I only have one thing on my mind. If you haven't tried that already, install the game outside program files folder...
You mean you copy-pasted in another folder ? It is possible it doesn't work because of registry keys, either reinstall or try to adjust registry keys, just search for Evergate, I think there are 2 keys in registry which you need to adjust...
EDIT: Nope, it has nothing with registry keys, game should run from any folder as I can see
EDIT2: Do you have anything here "C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\LocalLow\StoneLantern\Evergate" ?
You can disable your Antivirus program to see does that help, or exclude whole game folder from AV, who knows.
You can check those player .log files, and check is your graphic card listed in the log under 6 and I guess that 11 and 12 are also "important"

Also, there is "options.json" inside that folder but it will be only created once you change some game settings, but you can try adding it inside "C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\LocalLow\StoneLantern\Evergate" folder, maybe it will help you.
Go here
Copy all text notepad and save it as options.json
Make sure that your File name extension in windows is ON otherwise you will end with options.json.txt file...
in options.json just change Resolution which fits your display and try now.
Hope it will help you otherwise I have no more ideas :(
Just revisited this because i wasn't sure if i understood it right the first time an wanted to try to just out right make a options.json file i did an copy'd all the stuff into it put it to my resolution an it still didnt work even after a fresh install. and it says it showing as a file extension. Thank you for all the help, I think i'ma set this game to the side for now.
