Description

Sometimes the server is SLOW, so slow that I launch a game and I'm stuck for a loooong time on the "check for update" phase.
Please allow me to skip this check when it's too slow.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the update-check phase and how the patcher waits for the server response; done means a user can skip a slow check and continue launching the game without breaking normal update handling.
