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

Author : Ellie May 17,2025

So, you've just navigated through an intense mission in *Ready or Not*, taken down all the adversaries, and saved the hostages, yet you're hit with a "Mission Not Complete" message. Frustrating, isn't it? Don't worry, you're not alone. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to resolve the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.

How to Fix 'Mission Not Complete' in Ready or Not

1. Double-Check Your Objectives

The first step is to thoroughly review your objectives. Even if you believe you've completed all tasks, the game might have other ideas. Missing a single objective can lead to the "Mission Not Complete" error, but you can still vote to end the mission.

How to Check:

  • Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and review the objective list. Any objective that's red or marked as incomplete indicates a problem. Here are some common oversights:
  • Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key is F). The same applies to civilians.
  • Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Dropped weapons need to be secured. Ensure you collect any guns dropped by suspects.
  • Completing optional objectives – Some missions include additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can result in the mission not being counted as complete.
  • Ensuring all hostages are safe – Make sure all civilians are properly rescued and no one is left tied up.

Fix: Revisit the map and ensure no objectives were overlooked.

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

This issue is common in co-op play. For the mission to conclude successfully, all players must vote to end it. 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. Use voice or text chat to remind anyone who might have missed it.
  • If a player is away from keyboard (AFK), you may need to wait or remove them from the session.
  • Refer to our article on how to fix 'Can't Connect to Host' in *Ready or Not* for additional multiplayer troubleshooting.
  • If the vote screen doesn't appear for some players, consider restarting 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 attempt it again.
  • In multiplayer, try switching 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 is to restart the mission. While not ideal, *Ready or Not* is still in development, and mission completion bugs are not uncommon. If a mission stubbornly refuses to complete, restarting might be the quickest fix.

And that's how you can fix the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*.
