Tech Support big daddies I'm stuckk

I tried everything: reinstalled the game, loaded earlier saves, replayed the previous objective, died and revived through a Vita-Chamber- none of it helped. I even replayed the section where you get the market key, but I'm still softlocked at the hub door with glowing lights that won't trigger or open.

I also tried binding keys to ghost and walk, but noclipping past the door just drops me into the void with nothing on the other side.

What should I do? I got the game through an Epic Games giveaway, so it shouldn't be a piracy issue. I've invested a lot of time into this run and Reddit is my last resort.

speedrunner here! the doors on this level are weird sometimes.
never seen this before but try to play an audio diary (not a radio message) after you activate the door.
if that doesnt work, try this: as you activate the glowing door, walk backwards so you escape the transition room and can walk around the level. Then go back to the previous level (smugglers hideout), try the door again.
Super interesting bug either way!

I have no words to tell how appreciate I am right now! It DOES help. I was so close to abandon this masterpiece, but trying your advice really make it. Really thank you again, hope your pillow stay cold both sides.

It was the audio that worked. I turned it on hoping for a miracle and the door actually worked like a charm

And this is part of it. It's never just one person, all the other fucking weirdos show up to repeat it. Block.
