D3d

How can I make Emaga5 use D3D instead of OpenGL? when I run my game with OpenGL my game crashes.

Torque is an opengl engine. The d3d option is a wrapper that wraps directx calls to opengl.

So the d3d option just makes a system without openGL be able to work with Torque?

No, the d3d option in Torque requires OpenGL to work, because it's just a wrapper.
TSE is a different story.

You should try updating your graphics card driver to the latest one, that will usually fix the problem.

I don't really know anything about the technicalities of torque, but are you sure it's not the other way around? That sounds awfully useless.
I mean, the "wrapper" wraps opengl calls to directx. Otherwise I see no point in having a "wrapper" at all.

The wrapper takes ogl calls and points them to DX, but only like DX7, not DX8 or 9 i believe, however there is patches floating around.

So I can use directx with Torque?

You can.
