So, you've just navigated through a high-stakes mission in *Ready or Not*, taken out all the threats, saved 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 issue, but don't worry, here's how to tackle it in *Ready or Not*.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
The first step is to review your objectives. Even if you believe you've completed them all, the game might have other ideas. If you miss any objectives, you can still vote to end the mission, but it won't count as complete.
How to Check:
Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scan the objective list. If any item is marked in red or shows as incomplete, that's your clue. Common oversights include:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After incapacitating or neutralizing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). 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 lead to the mission not being counted as complete.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Check that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up somewhere.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure you haven't missed anything.

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 even one player misses the vote prompt, you'll see the "Mission Not Complete" error.
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 remove them from the session.
- 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 some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all objectives, the game fails to recognize your efforts.
Common Bugs:
- The game doesn't register secured weapons.
- A hostage isn't counted as rescued even though they are.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the conditions.
How to Fix:
- Restart the mission and try again.
- In 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 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. It's not ideal, but *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*.
