Thanks :)
Also E and left mouse click respawns you plus you can always take advantage of manual saves/loads and quick saves/load (f5/f9) ;)
I originally had it on 1440 x 900, windowed and at fastest quality settings.
Also had it on 1680 x 1050 which for some reason is the highest screen resolution I can get on my end as I'm unable to put it on 1920 x 1080. I've also tried many other available screen resolution settings including going Fullscreen on a few and game still crashes as soon as split screen is enable in cutscene :/
PC specs:

Honestly didn't occur to me that they were torches and thought they were broken pillars due to being very similar to them both color scheme & design. However that's kind of an error on my end since you can pass through these bars without lighting up the first "torch" and I didn't read the tutorial notes due to the game's retro gameplay simplicity 😅
