Post game rewards broken?

[Joey JoJo Shabadoo]

Got back into CP2077 when I got the DLC last month. I still have side quests and DLC to work on but I wanted to get the Adam Smasher shotgun, so I did the secret ending play-through, picked up Adam Smasher's key card, finished the game, rolled credits, chose, "one more gig", game loads me back in near Ember's, but there's no prompt that I earned rewards? Is the DLC impacting this?

I played the secret ending twice and nothing. Any others having similar issues with post-ending rewards?

TL:DR - post game is corrupting "point of no return" save where you're suppose to get your end-game rewards.

So, in order to get the end-game rewards, the game will trigger them on the last in-game checkpoint. Not an Auto-save or a manual save, this would be "point of no return" save. I have an older save where I was able to confirm it worked but it's an old 1.3 save, I was rewarded the Aldecaldo items.

But what's happening to my "Point of no return" saves now after I finish the game is it bugs out. When I choose "one more gig"after the credits roll, it will load my last "point of no return" save for a brief moment, then loads to the nearby bridge overlooking the park near Embers and I get no reward prompt. When I try loading that same "point of no return" save, it keeps loading me back at the bridge. Basically, the end game is corrupting the "point of no return" save file.

I'm just gonna use a mod and get the Ba Xing Chong smart shotgun, wasted so much time on this...
