Can't Trigger Adine's Good End

I decided to play through the game again after a couple years and this time around I saved Adine's good end for last before moving on to the true end. But, then after I finish Adine's "good end," my surprise comes when I still only have her shadow on the main screen.

I've done all the steps to get to every one of her endings (Yes, that includes getting the blueprint and giving it to her, resulting in Maverick biting Reza instead of dying). I've gone her normal path (declining to help wash) and all her romance paths more than once, yet still it won't trigger that I achieved her good ending. I even tried resetting, deleting all save files/cloud saves, and attempting again with only the neutral ending met. When I get to the end of Adine's good ending path, after the player's lines, "... I think so", it merely cuts back to the main menu. No "You got Adine's X end!" and no characters or shadows on the main screen.

The game's file integrity has been checked multiple times. Sometimes it has zero, sometimes it has 106 files that need to be re-downloaded (which are all python compiled object files and it's always 106 files). I checked the "awsw" file in %appdata%\Roaming\RenPy\persistent and the most it will ever have is adineromance and/or adinebadending.

This all has been attempted on multiple computers with the same result.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Update: The idea of trying it with a different Steam account got me thinking and I went ahead and bought the non-DRM version of the game. I started it up, didn't even bother to clear all the save data, loaded the most recent save before Adine's good end, and whammo, Adine's good end notification.

I couldn't understand why this would happen until I tried to get Adine's romantic ending on the non-DRM. But then, after doing all the steps, it wouldn't trigger. Then it clicked in my mind. It had been so long since I'd played last that I forgot her romantic ending might not be part of the core game. So I went to the workshop and sure enough, I was subscribed to Adine's Romantic Ending. One unsubscription later, another play through, and there was the good end notification.

Lesson learned, always check if there are mods installed if something's not working. How ironically fitting that the first ending I got for Adine this play through a few days ago was the mod's idiot ending.

I'm not entirely sure how to fix this; I've never encountered this myself. Maybe this is the time for M.B. Saunders to step in and save the day again. If I was confident that I knew the cause, I would've said it. I don't want to make anything worse

This is the first time I've heard about this or a similar error. I checked and there's nothing that is different about the programming of this ending and the other good endings as far as getting the achievements and showing up on the title screen go, so I'm not sure why this would happen only with this ending and none of the others.

If you've seen her good ending with the dialogue you mentioned, you definitely should be getting the achievement.
From what you describe I can only guess there may be some sort of issue with the persistent save file with possible corruption or an issue with reading or writing to the file which prevents the process with the achievements from working as intended.

Hm, I'm kinda stumped too, then. I've deleted all save data multiple times, so the game is able to create and write to both the persistent files. Unless I'm mistaken and there are more files that track progress than in %appdata%\RenPy\Angels with Scaly Wings, %appdata%\RenPy\persistent, and [steam]\steamapps\common\Angels with Scaly Wings\game\saves.

The only thing I'm not able to try is with a different steam account on my computers.
