Application program running method, device and equipment and readable storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses an application program running method, device and equipment and a readable storage medium, and relates to the field of virtual environments. The method comprises the steps: starting a target application program, wherein the target application program comprises a virtual environment; a map selection interface in the target application program is displayed, the map selectioninterface comprises candidate map options, different candidate map options correspond to different virtual environment maps, and at least one first candidate map option correspondingly displays a download control; and downloading a first virtual environment map corresponding to the first candidate map from the server in response to the received triggering operation on the downloading control. According to the embodiment of the invention, the partial virtual environment map of the target application program is used as the virtual environment map capable of being selectively downloaded, and thevirtual environment map needs to be downloaded only when a player needs to select the virtual environment map, so the size of an installation package of the target application program during downloading or updating is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of virtual environments, and in particular to an application program running method, device, device, and readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] In applications running on a virtual environment, players usually control virtual objects to act in the virtual environment to complete tasks required by the application. For example, in game applications, players control virtual objects to perform a single game in the virtual environment. Usually, the application program includes a variety of virtual environment maps, and different scene elements are displayed in different virtual environment maps, such as: snow mountain scenes, island scenes, etc. [0003] In related technologies, in the process of downloading or updating an application program, the terminal downloads a software installation package from a server, and after downloading the software installation package, installs th...
