[0.11] Game loads first then tries to check for updates

The game should not need to load the sprites to check for updates, it should be done just after the game is launched.

Well, this is really a minor problem, and you can also check for updates from the about window manually.

Minor but on slow computers it can easily add quite a few minutes!
Always bugged me on the laptop, game splash screen would load, then load all the mods... sprites... etc...
5 minutes later, get to the main menu and Boom, "update available!",
install update, relaunch game... mods... sprites and wait 5 minutes again
Agree it's minor but if it's relatively simple to do the update check before you load all the game resources then it'd be great!
