Problem with enigma

popfej · 05-05-22, 11:54 AM

Dear Captains,

I ran into a strange problem - an enigma message that contains the next movement in my current mission so it could important to continue the game.
So my problem is the date. The ingame date (and the time of the received message) is 1940-01-17.
The message date by DBU is 7/10/39.
To encrypt the message I have to use the DBU date but in the first book of the enigma (Doppelbuch...) where I have to chose the month (monat) I can't because the book stand on 1940 that I can't modify to 1939. In this way I can choose only moth from that year so I can't continue the encoding process.
Has somebody any idea what should I do? How could I fix it and get my order and to continue my mission/campain?
Thanks in advance!

Use your mouse scroll wheel to change the year indicated in the enigma interface.

Hi all,

Just downloaded SH5 for the first time and I’m trying to do the Enigma machine. I get the steps and get the right answers, but when I input the encrypted message everything is great except the last thumb wheel moves up in the alphabet followed by the second wheel from the right after around four clicks. It is super frustrating and renders the mini game unplayable.

Anyone got a fix?
