Jump to 2:00 to see the glitch. I've discovered a glitch with the physics-engine which can be very useful for speedrunning. However it is a bit difficult to achieve, as can be seen in the video :) But when it happens you can get through walls and other obstacles. I don't know what triggers it, but on my system it happens almost every time I load a game on Linux (if not on first load then usually on the second or third), on Windows it's a bit more rare though (video recorded on Windows). It's quite random.

The glitch is easiest to use with barrels, since they can roll, but it works with other objects (I've tried chairs and boxes). The only requirement is that they need to slide toward the player.

What I do in the video: As can be seen in the beginning of the video I send the barrel toward me and it bounces off the player, as it should be. I do this a few times to show that it happens like this all the time. I then send the barrel toward me and saves the game. This is only to make the video shorter, I can reload the same game as I did first and run to the barrel and the glitch will occur also. The barrel bounces a few more times until the player suddenly slides away with the barrel. This is when the glitch has occurred. It is now possible to go through walls :) (To go trough the wall send the barrel towards the player and press back into the wall) The glitch will be in effect until the save is reloaded again.
