#NOT A BUG, sorry: Minotaur Lock can return contradictory scoring results for different guesses.

I think I found a bug with the Minotaur Lock feedback.

I had a lock where the game gave me results that didn’t line up with each other, and after more testing I was still able to solve it. The final correct code was:

N F R S

But along the way I got feedback that doesn’t seem possible if the lock is scoring guesses correctly.

The two big problem guesses were:

  • N X R S = 3,0
  • N F Γ S = 3,0

Those can’t both be true against one fixed solution, because positions 2 and 3 are different between those guesses.

I also later tried:

  • N R Γ X = 1,1

And with the final correct answer being N F R S, that result also seems off.

So it looks like either:

  • the lock feedback can bug out sometimes,
  • the tooltip/result can show the wrong score for a row,
  • or the lock state can get desynced somehow.

I’m attaching a screenshot of the contradictory results immediately before the final solved state. Just wanted to report it since it makes the lock impossible to solve logically when the feedback is wrong. I was just purely lucky to get the final answer right. (AND WITH ONE GUESS TO SPARE BECAUSE I AM SOOOOOOOOOO GREAT!) 😛

There can be duplicates of the symbols in the code. I had it once before that the code was 4 times the same sybol

Absolutely, I run into that all the time too... The solution involved no duplicates so I don't believe it's actually that.

#

I think this may actually be an issue and not a misunderstanding. I am certainly fallible, though, haha! I work with QA folks so I try to do a good job of making sure I don't accidentally create wild goose chase reports...

Hmm I don’t see what is the problem here?
N X R S - 3 correct and in right place
N F Г S - same

It is pretty obvious from other clues and these two that the solution is N F R S, or am I missing something?

#

In first clue N R S are correct and in the right spot

#

In second clue N F S are correct and in the right spot

I am an idiot and have completely wasted your time.

#

Haha, my bad guys! I was soooo sure... But after stepping away and helping the kids with lunch and coming back... It's plain as day when I went back through it.

I wouldn’t go that far, you are not an idiot!
These things can get confusing at times

I think I just kept saying Γ was R in my head or something crazy.

#

Thanks again! I submitted a bug report in-game that can be disregarded as well.

Yeah, it happens sometimes. Especially if you farm war caches 😄
