[WoS] Enigma message unreadable

ganlhi · 11-02-22, 01:01 AM

Hello fellow captains!
I received two encrypted messages in a row I was unable to decode. That's something I have done dozens of times, and I triple checked what I did on these, but the decoding means nothing...
This message, for instance:

Are you able to decode it? If so I might have done something wrong, but I really don't know what...

Did you uncheck the box to use the keyboard? Sometimes that will mess things up!

ganlhi!

YIPES! the code within the conundrum within your enigma's issue has finally brought U to the surface after a 10 year 'silent run'!

I usually check the box when I have everything set up, to type the message itself. But I will try without it just to be sure.

To be honest, as a french person, I usually go on a french speaking forum.

Well I tried with the box unchecked, using only my mouse, and I get the same result...

Did you set correct year by scrolling on year marker?

ganlhi · 11-03-22, 10:47 AM

OMG no! I didn't even know that was a thing

OK, I will try !

Aktungbby · 11-03-22, 10:59 AM

"aint no time like the right time!"

ganlhi · 11-03-22, 11:38 AM

OK I checked, with 1940 selected, I get nothing understandable.

And did you set your enigma according to the date from the message, not the actual in game date and time?

Is it only this one message problematic? You don't have problems while decoding other enigma messages?

ganlhi · 11-04-22, 10:11 AM

I just noticed something: I received the message on the 10th of August, but the message header says it was sent on the 20th of June, right?

That must be it!

ganlhi · 11-04-22, 02:56 PM

That was it! With the correct date I was able to read the message!

Thanks for the hints

Yeah, always use the date of the message header
