31	31	* **Description:** Picking up an object for the first time will usually play an item collection cutscene. Unfortunately, outside of some early-game collectibles most of the game's collectibles had yet to have an item collection mesh assigned to them; in these cases this cutscene will crash the game.
32	32	* **Workaround:** Use the GameShark code [[Pickup Fix>>https://dinosaurpla.net/Main/Tech/Cheats/#HCodesthatfixproblems]] to replace the cutscene models of all collectible items with that of a magic gem, bypassing the crash.

66	66	* **Description:** When loading a save, the recent task summaries displayed on the "Previously on Dinosaur Planet" screen are often incorrect or incomplete. There are two causes for this. This menu loads the most recent 6 tasks completed by the player, but is only capable of displaying the oldest 3 of these tasks, so the information will often appear to be outdated. Secondly, while Rare had written summaries and clues for approximately half of the game's tasks, they had only assigned gameplay flags to a small handful of these text strings as of December 2000 (presumably leaving it for a later stage in development when gameplay flags etc. would've been more finalised) - as a result, this screen (and the pause menu's % counter) will stop updating early on in the game.

101		-* **Description: **Tricky and Kyte are intended to need Blue Mushrooms/Blue Grubs to perform their sidekick actions, and should be unable to help you if they're too hungry. The mechanic is introduced in SnowHorn Wastes' tutorial area (the place with the geyser, alpine roots, and hungry SnowHorn) and it does function correctly here: Tricky needs to be fed mushrooms before he has enough energy to dig, and he must build his digging experience before he can dig certain spots. This mechanic isn't used for the rest of the game however, in some cases because the buddy interaction points have their energy and experience requirements set to 0. The sidekicks will perform the commands without complaint, even with nary a mushroom in their poor tums! It's likely that Rare simply had yet to add the energy costs to these object, possibly to expedite debugging the game. Additionally, Tricky and Kyte's blue/red UI mushroom gauges don't update at any stage.

322	322	* **Description:** After leaving Tricky's tutorial area in SnowHorn Wastes and leaping between the platforms to cross the icy river, it's impossible to see that there's a diggable tunnel leading deeper into SnowHorn Wastes! A crack should be visible in the wall, but it fails to show up because of another decal draw order issue. This is the first time the player encounters a wall that can be tunnelled through with the Dig command, making the situation even more confusing for first-time players.
323		-* **Workaround:** Open the Sidekick Command menu with C-Down, the icon for Dig will appear when close to the wall. (The screenshot on the right to shows another diggable wall in SnowHorn Wastes, where the decal cracks display as intended.)
