Finally!!
The game is perfectly playable but most importantly - enjoyable : _). Recent commits have fixed most if not all crashes. Gfx except for some shadows is also perfect. FPS 50+(16AA/16AF/OpenGL/1680x1050). No slowdowns at all(if configured properly) haven't seen it go below 40 frames yet. No more errors at startup. Cutscenes have also been improved except for audio that lags 0.5 sec behind video.

F S M I believe.

i use AMD phenom 9950 Oced to 3Ghz 4gb,ram,Nvidia 9800Gtx+.Also as u mensioned cutscenes brake the game but only if it shows a video or something this happens at bakers,otacons,and at the end before you fight liquid i skiped them bi pressing start.also i have noticed a bug with JITiL version at the end when u are in the car with otacon or meryl when u stop to the checkpoint the car moves and goes through the wall. Use the normal version to beat the car chase !
