  DORTS v1.1.3 - August 2026

  DORTS v1.1.3 - August 2026 Howdy folks! A big dump of new upgrades this week to spice things up! Also added weekly leaderboards, a new opponent info bar, and a career mode bug fix for the Inter-Pub Knockout that was basically unreachable. New Upgrades Blocker (Rare) - your darts stay in the board during the opponent's visit and can deflect theirs. Encore (Rare) - hit a 180 and the crowd demands more: you get a fourth dart that visit, and its score adds onto the 180. Overkill (Rare) - busting no longer ends your visit: keep throwing, and every point you overshoot by is added to your opponent's score. Jinx (Mythical) - once per leg, the first opponent dart that would win the leg bounces out and ends their visit. A guaranteed extra visit, exactly when it matters Stage Fright (Uncommon) - while the opponent is on a checkout, their accuracy drops 30% on every dart. Slow Poison (Rare) - opponent accuracy drops 4% every visit they throw, compounding for the whole leg. The longer the leg drags on, the worse they get Voodoo Doll (Uncommon) - every treble you hit sticks a pin in the doll: -5% opponent accuracy on their next visit, stacking per treble Bull Ring (Common) - the outer bull counts as a Bullseye. The whole bull is one 50-point target, and a legal finish. Back Door (Rare) - you can finish on any single, straight out, even from 1. Checkout bonus gold is halved Stopwatch (Uncommon) - the visit timer freezes while you're on a checkout. Take all the time you need to do the maths. The TV timer goes ice blue while it's frozen Late Starter (Common) - the visit timer doesn't start until your first throw. Free aiming time on dart one, then the clock runs Season Ticket (Rare) - shop rerolls are free. Works the moment you buy it, and stops if you sell it back Extra Pocket (Rare, consumable, max 3) - +1 upgrade slot per purchase, up to 9 total. Consumed on purchase, so it never takes a slot itself Consumables Hangover Cure, Liquid Courage and Extra Pocket are now spent the mome...

  Dorts v1.1.2 - Quick patch with a couple new upgrades!

  DORTS v1.1.2 - August 2026A quick follow-up patch to yesterday: two new upgrades, free reticle movement and clearer Performance Score labels. New Upgrades Sticky Flights (Rare) - your darts can never be knocked out, deflected, or bounced out. Once they land, they stay put - with a STICKY! popup when it saves a dart Overtime (Common, max 3 stacks) - +6 seconds on the visit timer per stack Aiming Removed the invisible radius limit on reticle movement - the reticle now moves freely with the mouse or right stick instead of stopping at a circular boundary around the centre. I'm tired of people who don't realise you can use WASD complaining they couldn't hit a double!! Performance Score The HUD score panel is now titled PERFORMANCE SCORE so it can't be confused with your 501 score Breakdown row renamed to Scoring (was Score, which collided with other numbers on screen) The misleading "No Hints x2.0" line is now Run End Bonus xN - it covers hints, control scheme and difficulty tier together, and it's applied at run end, not in the live total Pause menu now shows a Performance Score heading with the per-dart formula Run summary explains how the score is earned per dart New PERFORMANCE SCORE step in How to Play's About tab Thanks for playing DORTS!

  Dorts v1.1 Release Notes

  DORTS v1.1 — August 2026 First off, thank you to everyone who has played the game and reported bugs - really appreciate it! It's been a busy week of gameplay additions and a big round of career mode fixes. Three new upgrades, a rebuilt pause menu, a gentler alternative to bounce-outs (I heard you loud and clear, T0O MANY BOUNCEOUTS!!), and career mode's tournament flow has been reworked. New Upgrades Ghost (Uncommon) - your first dart each visit turns into a ghost if it lands in a treble or the bull. Later darts pass straight through it — no bounce-outs, no deflections. Master Out (Rare) - you can finish on a treble as well as a double or bull. Max checkout extends to 180, and checkout hints will suggest treble finishes when they save you a dart (e.g. 60 → T20) HellyFire (Rare) - trebles set their segment on fire for the rest of the leg, and the fire spreads to a neighbouring segment at the start of every visit. Any dart in a burning segment (single, double or treble) earns +50% performance score - leg score and checkouts are untouched, so it's all about the run score. Deflections Half of all shaft-collision bounce-outs now become deflections - the dart lands slightly displaced and scores where it lands instead of dropping out for 0. Net effect: roughly half as many bounce-outs as before New DEFLECTED! popup in the same style as the bounce-out popup AI opponents get the same 50% deflection conversion. Butterfingers is unchanged Pause Menu Rebuilt layout: your upgrade cards sit at the top with the menu directly beneath so you can easily see what upgrades you have + their descriptions Cards are static with the description always visible - fixed the flickering tooltips on hover New left panel with your performance score, hot tier, and your stat levels (Accuracy, Sway, etc.) with short descriptions - so you can see what your upgrades are doing to it New right panel with the active leg mutator and any live disruptions, using the same mini cards as the HUD, with descripti...
