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

by Ava May 06,2025

So, you just ran through an entire mission in *Ready or Not*, cleared 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? Don't worry; you're not the only one facing this issue. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to fix the “Mission Not Complete” error in *Ready or Not*.

1. Double-Check Your Objectives

The first step is to review your objectives thoroughly. Even if you believe you've completed everything, the game might see it differently. If any objectives remain unfulfilled, you can still vote to end the mission, but it won't be considered complete.

How to Check:

Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scan through the objective list. If you spot anything marked in red or listed as incomplete, that's your issue. Here are some commonly overlooked objectives:

  • Reporting downed suspects or civilians – If you incapacitate or kill a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same applies to civilians.
  • Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Make sure to secure any dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
  • Completing optional objectives – Some missions include additional tasks, like disabling security systems. Skipping these can result in an incomplete mission.
  • 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 issue often trips up players in co-op mode. In *Ready or Not*, every player must vote to end the mission. If even one player misses the vote prompt, you'll encounter 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 might need to wait or kick them from the session.
  • Refer to our guide on how to fix ‘Can’t Connect to Host’ in *Ready or Not* if needed.
  • If the vote screen isn't showing up for some players, restart the mission.

3. Objective Bugs

Sometimes, you've completed all objectives, but the game still doesn't recognize it.

Common Bugs:

  • The game fails to register secured weapons.
  • A rescued hostage isn't counted.
  • 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 fix 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 tackle the “Mission Not Complete” issue in *Ready or Not*.
