So, you've just navigated through a tense mission in *Ready or Not*, successfully taken down all adversaries, and heroically rescued the hostages, only to be met with the frustrating "Mission Not Complete" message. It's a common issue, but don't worry, here's how you can resolve it and get back to your tactical operations.
1. Double-Check Your Objectives
First things first, review your mission objectives meticulously. Even if you believe you've ticked all the boxes, the game might have a different opinion. Remember, you can still vote to end the mission even if not all objectives are completed.
How to Check:
- Press the Tab button to access the mission menu and scrutinize the objective list. Any red or incomplete item points to the issue. Here are some commonly overlooked objectives:
- Reporting downed suspects or civilians – After incapacitating or neutralizing a suspect, you must report it by interacting with them (default key: F). The same applies to civilians.
- Securing evidence (weapons, bombs, etc.) – Ensure you secure any dropped weapons. If a suspect drops a gun, pick it up.
- Completing optional objectives – Some missions include additional tasks, such as disabling security systems. Skipping these might lead to an incomplete mission.
- Ensuring all hostages are safe – Verify that all civilians are properly rescued and not left tied up.
Fix: Revisit the map and ensure no objectives are left unaddressed.

2. The Vote-to-End Issue (Multiplayer)
This issue often trips up co-op players. 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 prompted to vote. If someone's not voting, use voice or text chat to remind them.
- If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or consider removing them from the session.
- Consult our guide on fixing 'Can’t Connect to Host' in *Ready or Not* if needed.
- If the vote screen doesn't appear for some players, restart the mission.
3. Objective Bugs
Sometimes, despite completing all tasks, the game might not recognize your achievements.
Common Bugs:
- The game fails to register secured weapons.
- A rescued hostage isn't counted.
- An objective remains incomplete despite meeting the criteria.
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 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 the above solutions don't 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. Restarting can often be the quickest way to resolve persistent issues.
And that's how you can fix the "Mission Not Complete" issue in *Ready or Not*. Keep these tips in mind to ensure your missions end successfully.
