Fix 'Mission Not Complete' Error in Ready or Not Game

Author: Isabella Apr 26,2025

So, you just ran through an entire mission in *Ready or Not*, took out all the enemies, rescued the hostages, and did everything by the book. But then – boom – you get hit with a “Mission Not Complete” message. Frustrating, isn't it? You're not alone, and here's how you can fix the “Mission Not Complete” issue in *Ready or Not*.

1. Double-Check Your Objectives

The first step is to thoroughly check your objectives. Sometimes, you might think you've completed everything, but the game might have other ideas. If you fail to complete all objectives, you can still vote to end the mission, but here’s how to ensure you've ticked all the boxes:

How to Check:

Hit the Tab button to open the mission menu and review the objective list. If you see any objectives marked in red or still incomplete, that's your clue. Here are some common objectives players often overlook:

  • Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, you need to report it by interacting with them (F by default). The same goes for civilians.
  • Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to pick up any weapons dropped by suspects.
  • Completing optional objectives – Some missions have additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can result in the mission not being completed.
  • Ensuring all hostages are safe – Double-check that all civilians are rescued and safe.

Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't left any objectives unfulfilled.

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

Ready Or Not Vote to End Mission Screen

This issue trips up many players. In co-op mode, all players need to vote to end the mission. If even one player misses the vote prompt, you'll end up with the “Mission Not Complete” error in *Ready or Not*.

How to Fix:

  • Ensure every player presses Y (the default key) when the vote prompt appears.
  • If someone isn't voting, remind them through voice or text chat.
  • If a player is AFK, you might need to wait or kick them from the session.
  • Check out our article 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

Sometimes, you've completed everything correctly, but the game still won't recognize it due to bugs.

Common Bugs:

  • The game fails to register secured weapons.
  • A rescued hostage doesn't count as saved.
  • An objective remains incomplete despite fulfilling the conditions.

How to Fix:

  • Restart the mission and try again.
  • If playing 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 fix issues with 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. It's not ideal, but *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs can occur. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be your quickest fix.

And that’s how to fix “Mission Not Complete” in *Ready or Not*.
