So, you've just navigated through a tense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the enemies, and successfully rescued the hostages, only to be hit with a frustrating "Mission Not Complete" message. It's a common issue, but don't worry, here's a step-by-step guide to help you fix it and get back to enjoying your gameplay.
How to Fix 'Mission Not Complete' in Ready or Not
1. Double-Check Your Objectives

The first step is to thoroughly review your mission objectives. Sometimes, even if you think you've completed everything, the game might have other ideas. If any objectives remain unfulfilled, you can still vote to end the mission, but for a true completion, you need to tick all the boxes.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scrutinize your objective list. Look for anything marked in red or listed as incomplete. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After neutralizing or incapacitating a suspect, interact with them (default key F) to report it. The same goes for civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to pick up any weapons dropped by suspects.
- Completing optional objectives – These might include tasks like disabling security systems, which, if skipped, could prevent mission completion.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check every corner of the map to ensure no civilian remains bound or in danger.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't missed any crucial tasks.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)

In multiplayer mode, this issue is particularly common. For a mission to be considered complete, every player must vote to end it. If a single player misses the prompt, you'll see the "Mission Not Complete" error.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players press Y (default key) when prompted to vote. Use voice or text chat to remind teammates.
- If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or consider removing them from the session.

- If the vote screen doesn't appear for everyone, restarting the mission might help.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all tasks, the game might not register them correctly.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to recognize secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage isn't counted.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the requirements.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- In multiplayer, switch the host as different players might experience different results.
- Verify your game files through Steam by right-clicking Ready or Not, selecting Properties, then Local Files, and choosing Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can repair any corrupted files causing issues.
The Classic 'Restart and Hope' Method
If all else fails, restarting the mission might be your quickest way out. While it's not the most appealing solution, Ready or Not is still in development, and such bugs are part of the game's evolving nature. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, a restart could be the key.
And there you have it, the complete guide to fixing "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not. Happy gaming!
