So, you've just navigated through a high-stakes mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the enemies, saved the hostages, and executed everything to perfection. But then, out of nowhere, you're hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not the only one facing this issue. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to resolve the "Mission Not Complete" error in *Ready or Not*.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to thoroughly review your mission objectives. Even if you believe you've ticked all the boxes, sometimes the game might have other ideas. If you haven't completed all objectives, you can still vote to end the mission.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scan through the objective list. If any item appears in red or is marked as incomplete, that's likely your issue. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, remember to report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same goes for civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Ensure all dropped weapons are secured. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions have additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these might prevent the mission from being marked as complete.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Verify that all civilians are properly rescued and no one is left tied up.
Fix: Revisit the map and check if you've missed anything.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
A frequent pitfall in co-op mode is the need for unanimous voting to end the mission. If even a single player misses the vote prompt, the "Mission Not Complete" error can appear 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 needed.
- Restart the mission if the vote screen fails to appear for some players.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all objectives, 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 even when conditions are met.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- In multiplayer, switch the host, as objectives may be registered differently for different players.
- Verify your game files: Go to Steam > Right-click *Ready or Not* > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files to fix any missing or corrupted files causing issues.
The Classic ‘Restart and Hope’ Method
If none of the above solutions work, the last resort might be restarting the mission. While not the most satisfying fix, *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 path to success.
And that's how you can tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
Ready or Not is available now on PC.
