some interesting news.

As mentioned prior some issues with the Bullet physics wrapper.  But the physics itself is c++ and being upgraded to fully utilized the GPU for FAST physics and collision.  It works just about everywhere.

Also, Steam (owned by Valve) is looking at Linux as their CEO really dislikes Win 8.   For games I have to agree and playing with the OS for a week I have to say I no longer despise it, I really hate it.  A downgrade is in the works.

I also was accepted to develop using the Steam SDK, this provides much greater MMO like playability that Dyna.  Not saying we will use it but it as an option.  This is only the network.

The issue with dyna is how to make it work.  We may have the dyna codebase but I have not seen it.  We have the dyna client code in EAW but that is like taking parts from a VW to fix a Ferrari.  If we must, Boost libraries have a generic code base to use.  In a way this decision is up to the powers that be, as to wether we use dyna servers,  just servers with new code or other options.

Strat:
This is excellent news!!!!

windows 8 ain't bad, just that it works really well for tablets atm.  8.1 that comes out soon brings back boot to desktop and the start menu - so essentially windows 7

not to sidetrack this with Windows8 stuff, but, what the hell people. I'm sitting on a Win8 machine all day. There's a "Start" button. It brings up a "Start" menu. Yes, the menu looks different like it's meant for a tablet but it works the same if not better. Once I get past that menu, I'm working in software that works just the same as WinXP. And, for the record, that's editing and compositing HD video for a living, not playing "Minecraft."

And while it might get upgraded, it's sure as heck not going away...
<end rant>

Looking forward to moving forward
