That's a bit strange. As of version 1.1.1 the autoupdate works in the following way:
1) try to ping http://crackattack.sf.net. If that fails (takes a few seconds), start the game without version checking.
2) If ping was succesful connect to http://crackattack.sf.net and download the latest version info then start the game.
The game should never just "quit". Possibly it could "hang" with spinning cursor if the ping succeded but the version info file was not reachable.
As of version 1.1.2 it is possible to turn the version checking on and off by using File->Preferences... However this requires that the game can be started. Since I cannot reproduce this error it is a bit tricky to fix. Anyone who is experiencing this problem should feel free to contact me by e-mail to provide further information so that the issue may be resolved for future versions.
