Seems like you should ask in technical support if your game is crashing. Post log files too.

And if you find the videos boring, you don't have to watch them. It won't impact your game in a negative way. The game is set up so if you don't care about the story bits, you can completely skip them.

Sorry, maybe I'm confused. The video in the theater room right? The one you have to input a "code" like you find in the bunker near the beginning of the game?

You can fast foward/rewind them by dragging the line on the white panel.

Well it's that first "IRL-video" of a patient waking up in a house , and I can't interact or skip and in the end the game closes

Oh that! Sorry, yeah that is a secret ending actually. You honestly aren't suppose to find that until the very end of the game. I'm assuming you knew of those environmental secrets before playing?

You see, once you're outside of that castle force field thing that you used to connect to the sun, it can't be turned back on again until you've completed basically everything in the game. At that point when you turn it back on is when you should realize there is a reason you just turned it back on. This is why it is the secret ending.

Just don't connect the force field poll to the sun and continue playing like normal.

Haha well you're very alert then! Very few people would ever catch that when they first play. Hope you enjoy the rest of the game!

But to also answer your original question, I don't know if you can skip that cutscene, however it is the only cutscene in the entire game so you're good! The videos I was referencing earlier aren't cutscenes like that, you'll find out about it later and if you don't like them, just don't watch them.

No problem! Don't worry, it's going to happen sooner or later. ;)

Heh, Jon Blow predicted that someone would find the secret ending before even starting the game.

I just found that too. And i havent seen late game stuff. I played on a friends Xbox and realized that those lines can be drawn in nature so i also looked around at the beginning after downloading it here from steam. also saw the one in the tunnel where you start
just wanted to know if the game closing itself is part of it because i can only run the game on lowest graphics and when there is water around me it is like 5FPS or less :/
