FAQs
Q: How do I host a game?
A: Simply create a game while slipstream is connected to the internet. You may need to press allow on the pop-up notification that happens on some Windows machines.
Q: Do I need to log in or use a password?
A: No. You can create an account, in which case you need to. Or, you can play as a guest.
Q: How does the game update?
A: The log in screen will show a notification if the game needs to be updated. An updated version will be available on slipstreamgame.com.
Q: The Web Player won't install?
A: The Web Player is no longer supported as the game filesize was too large.
Q: My computer is lagging a bit - how can I get a better framerate?
