So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in Ready or Not, taken down all adversaries, 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 how to tackle the "Mission Not Complete" problem in Ready or Not.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to thoroughly review your objectives. Even if you believe you've completed all tasks, the game might have a different perspective. Failing to meet all objectives can still allow you to vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
- Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and review the objective list. If any objectives appear in red or are marked as incomplete, that's your clue.
- Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians: After incapacitating or killing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same applies to civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.): Make sure to secure any dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
- Completing optional objectives: Some missions have additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can result in an incomplete mission.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe: Check that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up.
Fix: Revisit the map to ensure you haven't missed anything.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
A frequent issue in co-op play is the need for unanimous voting to end the mission. If even 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.
- Use voice or text chat to remind any players who might have missed the prompt.
- 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 some players, restart the mission.

3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all tasks, the game might not recognize your efforts.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to register secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage isn't counted.
- 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 might register objectives differently for different players.
- Verify your game files: Go 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 none of the above solutions work, sometimes the only option is to restart the mission.
While it's not the most ideal solution, Ready or Not is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be the quickest fix.
And that's how you can address the "Mission Not Complete" issue in Ready or Not.
