Omicron impassible doors glitch. I finally found something that worked for me.
I've had a problem with this glitch for a very long time. It was frustrating because I'd spent an enjoyabl twenty hours or so with the game and then started running into the glitch in Omicron where you can't pass through a door as well as an invisible obstacle in the imfirmery room.

I looked around in the forums looking for help and tried some of the suggestions but nothing would fix it at least on my end. I haven't played the game in a year becuase of the all the frustration but when I loaded my game today I remembered what I had done. The last time I played I loaded an earlier game and approached Omicron from a different direction.

Originally and in a couple of retrys in an attempt to fix the glitch I would always enter Omicron from the front door. This time around I went in from the back. There's that bit of falling apart stairs and catwalk hanging over the abyss and once you carefully get down, there's a back door you can enter leading right into the dive room. When I picked the game back up today and started from this new position, all of those glitches were gone. Not only that but a few little elements including situational music showed up that I never saw or heard before so I think I'm in the clear now.

Maybe this will be of some help to others if they run into the same problems. I'm just glad to be unstuck now after so many head aches and being stuck a whole year on that spot.

You aren't even supposed to be able to enter through the front door. If you could, you had some of the map improperly loaded, and went kind of out of bounds. Then finding invisible obstacles can happen, as you're in a game state that's not supposed to happen.

I had never heard that. Interesting. I only know that I and others have struggled with these glitches. I wonder if those folks who had this issues also entered from the front? That's an interesting corellation and I wonder if that's ever been acknowledged or addressed by anyone or the devs. The fact that some of us easily entered through the front door and now I'm hearing thatis not supposed to be possible. Well on my game it certainly was. The switch worked and everything, even the inbetween water draining chamber. Wierd.

It would be nice if this was specifically stickied somewhere as a bug if it isn't already. It needs to be clear for folks like me who have struggled with this. Like I said this problem caused me to have to put the game down for a whole year. It just so happens that I tried going through the back because I happened to know there was a door down there from exploring. If its true that the front door of Omicron is supposed to be sealed, this needs to be made known to others who are having the door bug issues because maybe like me, they went right through the front door of Omicron too.

Should've just looked at a somebody else playing the game it was pretty obvious as the front door isn't supposed to be accessible.

Aren't all displays external? If it's a USB one, it may be you're not using a USB 3 port (the blue ones), or the display doesn't support USB 3. There are external displays on USB 2, they're meant for office work. They can't stream data fast enough to keep a full screen updated 50 (or however many) times a second. They're not intended for games. They also have very little, or no, 3D processing onboard. So totally unsuitable for games.
