So, you've just navigated through a tense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the adversaries, freed the hostages, and thought you did everything by the book. Yet, you're hit with a frustrating "Mission Not Complete" message. It's a common hiccup, but don't worry—there are ways to fix it. Let's dive into how you can resolve the "Mission Not Complete" issue 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 completed everything, the game might see it differently. 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. If an objective appears in red or is marked as incomplete, that's where the issue lies. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – Make sure to report any incapacitated or deceased suspects 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, don't forget to pick it up.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions feature additional tasks, such as disabling security systems. Skipping these can lead to an incomplete mission status.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Double-check that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up somewhere.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure no objectives were overlooked.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This is a frequent stumbling block in co-op play. In *Ready or Not*, every player must vote to end the mission. If a single player misses the vote prompt, you'll encounter the "Mission Not Complete" error.
How to Fix:
- Ensure all players press Y (the 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 might need to wait or consider kicking them from the session.

- If the vote screen isn't showing up for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all objectives, the game may fail to recognize your efforts.
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 give it another go.
- In multiplayer, try switching 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 none of the above solutions work, sometimes the only option left is to restart the mission. While not ideal, *Ready or Not* is still evolving, and mission completion bugs can be part of the process. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be the quickest fix.
And that's how you can tackle the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
