The Astral Observatory "skip"

[Payne]

I was playing the game for the first time, and when I get to The Astral Observatory, It skipped me to the end of the mission (to checkpoint right after petrified mechs).
I was playing on hard, first playtrhough, no mods or anything, on Linux with proton..
I tought that I somehow skipped whole level (I had experiences only from the end of the mission), but then, on second playthrough on the same save, there was experiences easy to obtain from begin to place where started mission first time for me, so i realised that was bug.. I could not skip level from the map, becouse that was locked at the moment..
Someone experienced same thing?

I have indeed (I speedrun the game), and recently discovered it's possible on at least 13 levels (at least on version 1.02). What version were you playing on, out of curiosity?

Standard steam version, it's been a while so I'm not sure what version was available at the moment..

Ah, okay, I'm guessing 1.03 or 1.04. Interesting to know, thanks. For anyone curious, what seems to trigger it (at least on 1.02) is pausing while the map screen is still loading, exiting to menu, and resuming the save to start the next level. Refer to https://www.speedrun.com/trine5/guides/1nyk1 which I might add here as well (for the 0 people speedrunning...)
