You can still run around for a minute, although in this randomly generated dungeon, the map can be seen to cut off in certain points where it should run on, with walkways abruptly ending in nothingness.Įventually a prompt appears confirming the disconnection and taking you back to the character selection screen. Immediately after disconnection (the sound cuts out as we kill the connection in windows), monsters freeze and no objects in the game world can be interacted with. Starting for a checkpoint early in the game, we gathered an item and some gold and killed a few monsters. We tested this by disconnecting our wireless internet connection in Windows while playing.

When you log back in, you restart from your last checkpoint - but keep any gold, experience and items you earned.

If you're disconnected from the internet while playing Diablo 3, your game instance freezes straight away and after a minute or so, you're booted back to the character selection screen.
