DC Universe "Earth-2" Release Notes: May, 2019

Greetings, citizens of the DC Universe!

We’ve been working hard to roll out this month’s update, and you should see it populating your devices throughout the week.

Two important notes to bear in mind before you read on:

*The resolution toggle that is missing from some devices will be fixed in the next few weeks, on a separate update. Expect by early June.

*This update releases front-end support that sets the stage for our big comics organization update. You will see widespread fixes to the comics within a few short weeks after Earth-2 is done rolling out.

Awesome updates! Any word on when the various content tabs (community, news, encyclopedia, shop) & “my dc” content will become available on the various tv-type apps? Thanks!

@macdad34.93097, we haven’t yet started digging into getting those features on the tv-type apps, as they are web-supported tools. But we do hope to evolve in that direction in the future!

I sure hope Roku will eventually get Lists.
I have been saving comics to read in their own lists, but I’m stuck reading on the computer because on the Roku I have to search for each comic or just put everything in ‘Favorites’ (the only list on the Roku).

And reading on comics on the tv is too good to pass up.

Just to confirm as a Roku TV user for DCU, I received the 4k update about a week ago :slight_smile: Just in case others are curious for their own reference. And the visual that lets you know appeared in the bottom right I believe, or top right…I can’t remember at the moment lol It said “HDR” and slowly faded out.

Any updates on when the app will be made available on Samsung LG televisions?

No date as of yet, but our team is aware of the want for a Smart TV app. We will be sure to announce to the Community when new platforms are added.

The new update is snazzy. Quite nice, and with a generous helping of razzle dazzle and ring-a-ding ding too.
