I believe that you have to be crafty to get round this issue.
IIRC pausing and resuming shortly before the message appears
seems to make it then subsequently respond to the commands. 

I don't do gaming, but there are times when you wonder how you
are supposed to divine these things.

I only know because my partner was really keen to see some
credits, and re-ran the programme, skipped forward towards the
end, and achieved what I described.

Subsequently , it was simply a case of predicting how soon to
have a pause as the end approached.
