Shattered Pixel Dungeon- v2.5.2 Desktop Linux, github version https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases/download/v2.5.2/ShatteredPD-v2.5.2-Linux.zip

I am a daily tor user (and an Edward Snowden supporter- read his book, Permanent Record, if you have not already), so I have an interest in this sort of thing. If check for news and check for updates are turned off, will Shattered Pixel Dungeon still ping the internet and thus reveal my ip address? Or will it not communicate with the internet if both of these are clicked off?

I can of course play with the internet off or within Whonix-Workstation, but both are somewhat inconvenient.

Thank you for your help.

    Thank you. I will look into it at some point. I just usually assume that if a program really wants to spy on me, it will be programmed to turn off the spying if it detects that something like wireshark is on. But I guess that would not apply to our case here.

      Consider a network tap. Should by design be invisible to the program being examined.
