Hot update method and system for cloud game and readable storage medium

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to the field of network communication, and discloses a hot update method and system for a cloud game and a readable storage medium. The hot updating method forthe cloud game comprises the steps that in response to a game starting instruction of a user side, whether the cloud game specified by the game instruction needs to be updated or not is determined; inresponse to determining that updating is needed, obtaining and executing an updating file; comparing the files corresponding to the cloud game before updating with the files corresponding to the updated cloud game, and screening out newly added files after updating; and generating a service pack according to the newly added file for other servers to update. The embodiment of the invention provides a new cloud game hot updating mode, so that the entering time of the cloud game is ensured as much as possible, Meanwhile, the hot updating requirement on the server is met as much as possible.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of network communication, and in particular to a hot update method, system and readable storage medium for cloud games. Background technique [0002] Cloud gaming, also known as gaming on demand, is an online gaming technology based on cloud computing technology. Cloud gaming technology enables thin clients with relatively limited graphics processing and data computing capabilities to run high-quality games. In the cloud game scenario, the game does not run on the player's game terminal, but on the cloud server. In the operation mode of cloud games, all games run on the server side, and the rendered game screen is compressed and sent to the user through the network. Specifically, the game screen is encoded in real time and the video stream is pushed to the client. Correspondingly, on the client side, the user's game device does not need any high-end processors and graphics cards, but only n...

Problems solved by technology

If the hot update cannot be extracted accurately and timely, it will seriously affect the user's game experience, resulting in the loss of users and the loss of competitiveness of the product

[0005] If hot update is performed for all games on all cloud game servers, because the probability of some games on some machines being scheduled is very low, even after the update, they are not scheduled, which is equivalent to invalid hot update, and such invalid hot update will cost Lots of valuable server bandwidth resources

On the contrary, if you do not perform hot update for any service and adopt the strategy of automatic pull, all users will need to perform hot update when starting the game, which prolongs the waiting time for users to enter the game and reduces the user experience.
