Release notes DartCounter V9.5.5
What’s New & What’s Fixed: DartCounter v9.5.5 Update
3 August 2026
Highlights
New Game Mode: Random Checkout
Looking for a new challenge? Random Checkout is a brand-new game mode available to everyone, Ultimate subscribers and free users alike.
Every round you'll be given a random checkout to complete. The more difficult the checkout, the more points you'll earn. Want to tailor the challenge? You can choose exactly which checkout brackets are included before you start playing.
Play it your way with three game modes:
Default - Climb through the checkout brackets by completing your targets. Success moves you up for bigger rewards, while a miss drops you down a bracket. Score as many points as possible to win.
Random - Every visit gives you a checkout from a random bracket, keeping each turn unpredictable. The player with the most points at the end takes the victory.
Race - It's all about accuracy. Be the first to complete your target number of checkouts, whether that's 10 or any other goal you've set, and claim the win.
More Ways to Explore Your Stats
Want to take a closer look at your performance? We've expanded the All-time Statistics view with several new ways to analyse your results.
You can now switch between the familiar grouped brackets or view every result individually for a more detailed breakdown. We've also added the option to hide results you haven't hit, making your statistics easier to read, along with a new percentage view to show how often you've thrown each result.
These new viewing options are available across all game modes. At launch, the individual result view is supported for Match and Shanghai, with support for additional game modes coming in a future update.
Fixes & Tweaks
Gameplay
- Your preferred layout for online games is now remembered, so you won't need to set it up every time you play.
- The minimum starting score for local Match games has been lowered from 101 to 2, making it easier to practise specific checkout combinations.
- Fixed an issue where, if both players hit the same result during Bull Up with Omni, the rethrow sequence could incorrectly register a hand as another throw. Rethrows now work as expected.
DartBot
- DartBot now remembers its score correctly when you undo a turn, ensuring the game state stays accurate after rolling back a visit.
- Added a new option to disable the DartBot "You require..." voice line during checkouts, so you can throw immediately if you prefer.
- Added an option to disable the "Who Throws First" sequence when playing against DartBot, letting you get straight into the action.
- Added an option to disable the head-to-head introduction when playing against DartBot, so you can get straight into your match.
Events
- Fixed an issue where Heatwave points in online games incorrectly displayed 10 points instead of 20. The correct points are now displayed.
- Fixed an issue where Heatwave points were not displayed correctly during team matches. Awarded Heatwave points are now displayed correctly throughout the event.
Statistics

Tournaments
- Fixed an issue where a Local Tournament could freeze if a match failed to end correctly. Matches now end correctly, allowing the tournament to continue as expected.

UI & UX
- We've refreshed the game cards in the lobby to make it easier to see whether you're joining a Match or Cricket game.
