A container layer for allowing a plurality of game instances running on an operating system to maintain full game functionality is configured to intercept a communication from a game instance of the plurality of game instances to the operating system and provide an appropriate response to the intercepted communication.
Claims25
A container layer for allowing a plurality of game instances running on an operating system to maintain full game functionality, the container layer configured to:
- intercept a communication from a game instance of the plurality of game instances to the operating system;
- and
- provide an appropriate response to the intercepted communication.
A method for maintaining full game functionality for a plurality of game instances running on an operating system, comprising:
- intercepting a communication from a game instance of the plurality of game instances to the operating system;
- and
- providing an appropriate response to the intercepted communication;
A container layer that forms an interface between a plurality of game instances running on an operating system and the operating system, the container layer configured to:
- provide access to necessary hardware resources for two or more game instances of the plurality of games instances by filtering, modifying, or forwarding communications to the operating system made by the two or more game instances;
- allow the operating system to maintain full game functionality for the two or more game instances by filtering, modifying, creating or forwarding responses corresponding to the communications made by the two or more game instances;
- wherein the two or more game instances and the operating system are not modified to support the container layer.
