Fix 'Mission Not Complete' Error in Ready or Not: Quick Solutions

by Lillian Mar 28,2025

So, you've just navigated through a high-stakes mission in *Ready or Not*, successfully taking down all threats, rescuing hostages, and executing every maneuver to perfection. Yet, the frustrating message "Mission Not Complete" flashes on your screen. It's a common issue, but don't worry, here's how you can fix it and get back to your tactical operations seamlessly.

How to Fix ‘Mission Not Complete’ in Ready or Not

1. Double-Check Your Objectives

First, ensure you've met all your mission objectives. Sometimes, you might think you've completed everything, but the game might disagree. Even if you've missed an objective, you can still vote to end the mission.

How to Check:

  • Press the Tab button to open the mission menu and review the objective list. If anything appears in red or as incomplete, that's your issue.
  • Common overlooked objectives include:
    • **Reporting downed suspects or civilians** – Always report incapacitated or killed suspects or civilians by interacting with them (F by default).
    • **Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.)** – Make sure to collect any dropped weapons or other evidence.
    • **Completing optional objectives** – Don't skip extra tasks like disabling security systems, as they might be necessary for mission completion.
    • **Ensuring all hostages are safe** – Confirm that all hostages are rescued and safe.
  • **Fix:** Revisit the map to ensure you haven't missed anything.

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

In co-op mode, a common pitfall is the vote-to-end feature. Every player must vote to end the mission; otherwise, you'll encounter the "Mission Not Complete" error.

How to Fix:

  • Ensure all players press Y (default key) when the vote prompt appears.
  • Use voice or text chat to remind any player who might have missed the prompt.
  • 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 doesn't appear for some players.

3. Objective Bugs

Occasionally, even after completing all objectives, the game may fail to acknowledge your success.

Common Bugs:

  • The game may not register secured weapons.
  • A hostage might not be counted as rescued despite being safe.
  • An objective might remain incomplete even when conditions are met.

How to Fix:

  • Restart the mission and attempt it again.
  • In multiplayer, switch the host as different players might experience different objective registrations.
  • 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 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 in development, and such mission completion bugs can occur. Restarting might be the quickest way to resolve the issue.

With these tips, you should be able to fix the "Mission Not Complete" error in *Ready or Not* and continue enjoying your tactical gameplay experience.
