So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the enemies, and saved the hostages, but then you're hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, isn't it? You're not alone, and here's how you can tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue 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 everything, the game might have other ideas. If any objectives remain unfulfilled, you can still initiate a vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scrutinize the objective list. Look for any items marked in red or labeled as incomplete. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians: If you incapacitate or eliminate a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same goes for civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.): Ensure you collect any weapons dropped by suspects.
- Completing optional objectives: Some missions feature additional tasks, like disabling security systems, which are necessary for completion.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe: Double-check that no civilians remain tied up or unrescued.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure no tasks or items were overlooked.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
In co-op mode, this issue can be particularly tricky. To successfully end the mission, every player must vote in favor of concluding 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 haven't voted.
- If a player is away from keyboard (AFK), you may need to wait or remove them from the session.
- For connectivity issues, refer to our guide on how to fix ‘Can’t Connect to Host’ in *Ready or Not*.
- If the vote screen doesn't appear for all players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, you may have genuinely completed all tasks, but the game fails to recognize your achievements.
Common Bugs:
- The game doesn't register secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage isn't counted.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting all 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 through Steam by navigating to: Steam > Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files. This can correct any missing or corrupted files that might cause issues.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, sometimes the only option left is to restart the mission. Although not ideal, *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be your quickest fix.
And that's how you can address the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
