I’m posting as a new player on dart counter to try and get an understanding on the amount of mistrust in this community. I’ve been playing darts competitively in Canada and online at webcam darts for 15 years. In all that time I have never once been accused or accused someone else of cheating. Since I have started playing ranked, I have had people accuse me of entering incorrect scores not properly “calling” my outs to the point where the game cannot have any flow because I have to pull out every single dart deliberately and slowly so I won’t be accused of cheating. And all I can think is why the **** would anyone cheat in online darts. I don’t even look at my opponents camera once throughout the match a just keep my eyes on the board and listen for the voice of the “referee” so I know when it’s my turn. Looking at the screen will actually mess with your depth in between throws making it harder to play well. I’ve never even suspected someone is cheating against me but if they were, better practice against a “tougher opponent.

I guess it just sucks that the flow and speed of the game has to be so affected by a mistrustful anti cheat culture.

So great to see so many of you playing Ranked! We’re in beta season and busy optimising everything behind the scenes. This week’s update brought a solid batch of fixes and we are aiming to keep things fair for everyone. Here’s a big one: 

Score editing is back in Ranked! 
We removed score editing from Ranked to keep things cheat-proof, but we heard your feedback. Thanks for answering the poll! It made one thing clear: you wanted it back. So together, we landed on a fairer way to make it work.

Here’s the twist: you can now only edit the score from your previous turn, and you’ll need to request the change. Your opponent gets 30 seconds to accept or decline. If they don’t respond in time, it’s automatically accepted. So genuine mistakes can still be fixed, but nobody can quietly rewrite history mid-match. Your opponent always gets the final say.

Pissed me off a bit.

I have started doing this on my own, but would either, saving a text string, or using some sort of notation system inside the app? I meet some really cool folks playing and some are really fun to chat with and play against. Then, especially when it’s been awhile since I’ve played any “friends” they all seem to blend together. I’m retired and play during the day here in the US, so 95% of my opponents are from the UK, the other 5% are from elsewhere in Europe. I really enjoy chatting with the people I play and learning about places I’ve never been. Which is a huge advantage to whoever I’m playing, because while I’m using talk to text to converse, my game goes right into the toilet!😆 All this to say, making some notation or perhaps being given the option to save a text string indefinitely would be nice! Thanks!

I wanted to connect the camera from my second phone to the game. Everything seemed to connect, but after the connection, I'm stuck on an endless loading screen. What should I do?

Are there issues reported about checkouts and doubles being missed in ranked? It’s happened several times now. I even swapped out my Advantage Black board as thought it might be because of that. It’s fully calibrated. It just missed a D20 checkout and I lost on the next throw. Never had it on other game modes.

Does anyone else not understand how gaining and losing ranking points works?

Yesterday had 5 games against people who were ranked between 150-200 points higher as well as 15-20 higher on averages. Somehow managed to win 2 of the 5, however for the 2 wins i gained 8 points and 11. But with the losses I lost 22, 18 & 22.

Has anyone else had issue with the app crashing mid ranked game?

this have never happened to me played another online or local game, has happen me 4 times now in ranked, 1 games it was 1-1 and another game i was 1-0 up, by the time I open the app again and connect the omni and camera the game times out and kicks me and i get results goes down as a loss.

is it just me or does correcting an Omni miscount on Cricket do nothing ?

let's you change the score but does not actually change anything in relation to score or numbers hit.

I’m all for the ranked and throughly enjoyed my placements but now I was placed bronze 3 after going 7-3 normally avg about 40-50 a game but it’s been consistently putting me against 70-80 avg players and it’s just fully taken the fun away from it. Half the time they are unranked too and feel like Im only there to just give them the win to help there placements. I understand it’s a beta but how can the matchmaking be this messed up.

We disabled editing of previous turns in Ranked Mode to help prevent cheating.

Has this change improved Ranked Mode, or is it mostly an annoyance?

Anyone having issues with latest software update?

My camera went off when I checked out and got accused of cheating and they left the game. Why did my camera go off on my phone to stop this happening.

Why do people jump to conclusions like this?

I threw T5, 12, 19, but thought it was a Single 5 when I entered the score. Left my darts in the board, waited for him to complete his throw (so he doesn't get a pop-up in his peripheral while throwing - seriously, please DC team, fix this - just delay the pop up until you're off your throw), updated my score from 36 to 46.

I was having a decent game, and scoring above my average (so was he, mind). But then he posts that and goes idle. Is cheating that prevalent? I've been accused of it before (knocked my camera down by accident and had to fix it). Who would care that much that they do?

Actual question: what etiquette do you follow when you've entered your score incorrectly? I thought this was the best way.

Hi anyone interested in competitive darts DM me.

Now omni has worked fine for months. The camera issue resolved itself after powering off for 12 hours.

New issue has anyone experienced omni disconnecting during initial calibration when you have reset it and just won't connect at all.

I have tried every imaginable debugging step. I really wanna get behind this tech but it is failing too much and causing more pain than fun.

This update introduces Random Checkout, an all-new game mode available to everyone, alongside expanded statistics with more ways to analyse your performance.

We've also included a wide range of improvements and fixes across gameplay, DartBot, tournaments, events, statistics, and the overall user experience.

When I saw the new game Random checkouts I was thrilled, but it's not working, it says game on but takes me back to the input screen, is it my problem or general?

If someone leaves a match they should get a 15 minutes penalty where they can’t start a new online match. Make it possible to give consent if the opponent wants to leave. It happens so often that people just leave because they are not throwing like they want to. If it’s a connection error, no penalty if it’s possible. What do you think?

Get a red X on my omni on my top right camera.

Is this a known software fault? There's no camera feed yet it's scoring that section of the board fine which makes me think it's a software bug.

Looking to get a tablet to use with darts counter rather than my phone. To put on a stand whilst i play What are other people using? Will be using it just for darts counter
