I don't see your edit with your device name/number? Did you edit it? And then run the game and see what the new log lists?

@HugeLunatic, you're absolutely right... I fouled that one up, didn't I? Glad that I said for @simsbabe to wait for input from other users as well... That would've been messy.

@simsbabe, that is something I can tell you how to do.
Open the file "Video Cards.sgr" and find the section named Intel. Now create a new line in that section, which reads:
card 0x3e9b "Intel® UHD Graphics 630"
(the ® is created by typing: ( R ) without spaces. Don't worry if it doesn't look like ® in your editor; it will work.)
Then save the file in the folder "TSData/Res/Config" of the latest EP (Mansion and Gardens, EP9 or SP9) and also copy the file to "TSData/Res/CSConfig"
And here comes the explanation of why the line should look like that:
It must be in the Intel section, because in the bit that I quoted from your config-log, it SAYS that your card is an Intel card. If you put it in the wrong section, the game cannot find/match your card. The "card" number is the number that in config-log is mentioned after "Device:", and the name is taken from the line "Name (driver)". This is why the config-log is so important: it tells us exactly what kind of information is missing, and how we need to fix it.
The following is not important at all, but it is funny: the Vendor number for Intel is 8086, the same as the original microprocessor that all their modern processors are based on.

Well, I'm not sure you really want the actual ®, or just type ( R ) like the others arein the video card.sgr. But what does your config log say? Does it recognize your video card?
And this isn't guaranteed to fix it, but it's the first step. Another thread on here links to installing Directx11 (?) which worked.
