Updated with v1.3.5: card refinements and Revenge polish

The latest Windows and Linux patch adds the following improvements:

• Set Seeker now guarantees a missing eligible ingredient from the Set most represented in your equipped cards. Ties are resolved randomly.
  
• Telemetry Theft, Build Heist and Apex Plunder redirect the offender's newly earned lap XP to you for 5, 10 and 15 seconds respectively. They no longer disable Tuning or Technique cards.
  
• XP theft now has its own XP-drain debuff icon, with updated card information across all supported languages.
  
• Triad Coup and Position Hijack link colors now reflect the actual position changes: green for an eligible connection and red otherwise.
  
• Revenge activation has a new blade-clash sound.
  
• All three card strategies were retrained and evaluated after these changes. The improved Engineer model is included; the stronger existing Explorer and Winner models were retained.
  

Rogue Circuit v1.3.4 is now available for Windows and Linux. This patch gives three Sets new ways to shape your build, adds physical map boundaries, and keeps abilities from firing while cars are waiting on the grid.

Three reworked Sets

• Slipstream Grapple replaces Velocity Pact's passive bonuses. When a rival is close and ahead, a purple grapple pulls your car toward them instead of pulling them back to you. It has a 5-second cooldown and new card artwork.
  
• Phantom Order now keeps your car invisible. Touching a rival applies Doom Hex to them for 2 seconds, replacing the Set's previous bonus.
  
• Plunder Syndicate now grants +1 XP per positive XP award. Its passive bonuses scale immediately with your current level: +1% aero and -1% mass per level. Mass still cannot fall below 10% of its base value, and lap XP capacity still applies.
  

Race starts and track boundaries

• Powerup, Revenge and Set effects now wait until each car crosses the start line for the first time. No more abilities activating while that car is waiting on the grid.
  
• Physical walls around the outer map edges prevent cars from driving beyond the map.
  

Updated rivals

• Updated the Winner and Explorer card-strategy models after the latest card changes.
  
• The existing algorithmic overtaking assistance remains in use.
  

Eight Steam achievements are now live

• First Victory: win a race.
  
• Champion: win a championship.
  
• Pieces Together: assemble your first Set.
  
• Beyond the Limit: unlock Tier 4 cards.
  
• Full Collection: assemble every distinct Set across championships.
  
• Payback: steal XP with a Revenge card.
  
• Second Chance: win a race after being last, excluding the opening three seconds.
  
• The Impossible: win a race with your Driver in Manual throughout. Your Powerup can remain Auto.
  

Achievements are available in championship play, including custom championships. Sandbox and training never award achievements or collection progress. Full Collection tracks Sets assembled from their required cards, not Sets selected directly from an offer.
