A cutscene skip is more than sufficient. However, if it crashes you, then that's something that needs to be fixed and should be posted in a bug report.
The CS crashes happen to everyone if you haven't had one happen to you then your one of the very few. I believe it is a problem with how the game is coded and will probly be fixed in 2.0 but until then we need some kind of temp fix.
