Recently, foreign technical expert Maurice Heumann said that he has successfully bypassed the new version of the D encryption protection mechanism of "Black Myth: Wukong".Of course, due to legal risks, he did not release a learning patch or a specific method to bypass the D encryption protection mechanism.
To back up his claims, Hoyman posted a screenshot showing Black Myth: Wukong in action.The figure shows an early run test of the game in a controlled environment, along with test session logs.However, he did not share any technical details or learning patches.He made it clear that he did not plan to release a method to bypass the new version of D encryption due to legal risks.

Reaction from the gaming community has been mixed.Some users and researchers regard this result as a "case worth exploring" and believe that it is helpful to conduct academic discussions and analyze the impact of DRM on game performance.Some people believe that if there is no "responsible disclosure" to developers or the disclosure of relevant results from an academic/practical perspective, simply bypassing the protection mechanism itself has no practical value.Others pointed out that bypassing D encryption does not mean that piracy will appear immediately.Hoyman has repeatedly stressed that he would avoid "public dissemination of encryption bypass schemes" due to legal issues.
D encryption is one of the most controversial protection systems in the gaming industry: supporters believe it can effectively curb large-scale piracy in the early stages of game release, while critics point out that it will affect game performance and stability.

At present, the publisher and developer of "Black Myth: Wukong" have not responded to Hoyman's statement.Industry representatives usually react cautiously to such news: they either take steps to strengthen protection or issue an official note emphasizing that "bypassing protection mechanisms does not mean that piracy will occur."
