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.

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