Tutorial Cave Softlock
Description
With the new UI settings, if you have some of them turned off, you can get soft locked in the tutorial cave. The tutorial relies on all UI elements being present to progress. If you have them turned off (even from a previous playthrough on a previous dino), you will get soft locked until you turn them back on. Additionally, this causes the character to get locked in position and stuck (assumingely because the tutorial prompt is there like usually but cannot be seen). Using the menu can unfreeze the character, but using vocal wheel freezes it again.

Outcomes
Observed Result
With UI elements turned off, after the “drink water” tutorial, the character gets frozen and cannot move unless you bring up the menu. The tutorial will not progress.
Expected Result
The tutorial would progress as normal despite having the UI turned off. Character should still be able to move. Or, even with UI elements turned off, the tutorial should override the settings and continue. Tutorial needs to work and show UI despite having these settings turned off.
