Fix 'Mission Not Complete' Error in Ready or Not: Quick Guide
So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, taking down all the enemies, rescuing the hostages, and doing everything by the book. But then, out of nowhere, you're hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone in this. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fix the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to thoroughly review your objectives. Sometimes, you might think you've covered all bases, but the game might see it differently. If you miss any objectives, you can still attempt to vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
- Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and review the objective list. Look for any objectives marked in red or listed as incomplete.
- Common overlooked objectives include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After incapacitating or killing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key is F). The same applies to civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to secure any weapons dropped by suspects.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions have additional tasks like disabling security systems, which must be completed to count the mission as complete.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Verify that all civilians have been properly rescued and are no longer in danger.
- Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't missed anything crucial.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This issue often trips up players in co-op mode. For the mission to conclude successfully, every player must vote to end the mission. If just one player misses the vote prompt, you'll encounter the "Mission Not Complete" error in *Ready or Not*.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players press Y (default key) when the vote prompt appears.
- If someone isn't voting, remind them via voice or text chat.
- If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or consider kicking them from the session.
- Refer to our guide on how to fix 'Can't Connect to Host' in *Ready or Not* if necessary.
- If the vote screen doesn't show up for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all objectives, the game fails to recognize your efforts.
Common Bugs:
- The game doesn't register secured weapons.
- A hostage doesn't count as rescued even though they are.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the conditions.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- In multiplayer, switch the host as the game may register objectives differently for different players.
- Verify your game files: Navigate to Steam > Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can resolve issues caused by missing or corrupted files.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If all else fails, sometimes the best course of action is to restart the mission. While not ideal, *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs can occur. Restarting might be the quickest way to bypass these issues.
And that's how you can tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*. Keep these tips in mind to ensure your missions go smoothly from start to finish.
