Disney Plus Finally Adds "Continue Watching" Function

Disney+ is now two weeks old, and it's already become a vital addition to the streaming landscape. However, subscribers were quick to notice that the service was missing an important piece of functionality that its rivals all have, namely the ability to resume playing at the point a movie or show was stopped. Thankfully, the studio has now added this.

A "continue watching" row now appears on the Disney+ home screen on all platforms, just as it is does on Netflix and other streaming services. This addition has been made server-side, so there's no need to update your app--it'll just be there next time you log in. In addition, if you find a movie or show via browsing or a search there's a "resume" button on the title's main screen.

Disney+ had a huge day one sign-up, with the studio revealing that it gained more than 10 million subscribers in its first day. However, the service's launch wasn't without a few technical problems. There was also a bit of controversy about the fact that every episode of The Simpsons available on the service is in widescreen, cropping jokes from earlier seasons. However, the studio has stated that they will be available in their original ratio in 2020.

An issue where generals and heroes were not spawning at full strength has also been fixed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will no longer spawn twice in Liu Bei's campaign, and Guo Jia's spawning age has been corrected. Crashes are now less likely to happen in existing save games for the new court feature, too, but it's still recommended that players start a new campaign. Particular attention has also been paid to Liu Hong's campaign, including fixing a bug that reduced fervour rather than increasing it when the Tax Collector building was constructed, reducing the starting strength of the Imperial Army, and helping to rebalance the amount of money avail...
