The title explains it all, since usually my games run longer without crashing under D3D then OpenGL.

My graohics card is a Raedon 9200

You'd have to compeltely rewrite the rendering engine. Not oing to happen.

Honestly, I'd reccomend putting your pocketchange aside every night and picking up an nVidia card. You can get a 6600 real cheap and it'll perform much better than your 9200.

Might be worth trying these drivers to get it crashing less in OGL. Also, if you're crashing after running for a little while you might want to make sure there's enough airflow in your PC 'cause it might be overheating.
