How To Fix ‘Mission Not Complete’ in Ready or Not

So, you aced that Ready or Not mission – neutralized threats, rescued hostages, the works. Yet, you're staring at the infuriating "Mission Not Complete" message. Don't worry, it happens. Here's how to troubleshoot this common issue.

Troubleshooting "Mission Not Complete" in Ready or Not

1. Objective Double-Check: Did You Really Do Everything?

Before you rage-quit, meticulously review your objectives. The game might have a different idea of "complete" than you do. Even if you think you're done, a missed objective prevents mission completion. To check:

• Press Tab: Access the mission menu and scrutinize the objective list. Red or incomplete objectives are your culprits.
• Common Overlooked Tasks:
  • Reporting downed suspects/civilians: Interact with (default F key) each incapacitated or deceased individual, both suspect and civilian.
  • Securing evidence: Collect dropped weapons, bombs, and other crucial evidence.
  • Completing optional objectives: These often involve disabling security systems or similar tasks.
  • Ensuring hostage safety: Verify all hostages are properly rescued and untied.

Fix: Thoroughly retrace your steps and ensure every task is checked off.

2. The Multiplayer Vote-to-End Hurdle

This is a frequent multiplayer stumbling block. In co-op, every player must vote to end the mission. A single missed vote triggers the "Mission Not Complete" error.

Fix:

• Y Key (Default): Ensure all players press Y (default) when the vote prompt appears.
• Communication is Key: Remind absent-minded teammates via voice or text chat.
• AFK Players: If a player is AFK, you may need to wait or remove them from the session.
• Restart: If the vote screen isn't appearing, try restarting the mission.

3. Wrestling with Objective Bugs

Sometimes, despite perfect execution, the game glitches.

Common Bugs:

• The game fails to register secured weapons.
• A hostage remains "unrescued" despite being freed.
• An objective stubbornly remains incomplete despite meeting all requirements.

Fix:

• Restart the Mission: Often the simplest solution.
• Switch Hosts (Multiplayer): The game's objective registration can vary between players.
• Verify Game Files: (Steam > Right-click Ready or Not > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files) This checks for and repairs corrupted files that might be causing problems.

The "Restart and Hope" Method (Last Resort)

If all else fails, a mission restart is your final option. While inconvenient, it's sometimes the quickest fix, especially considering Ready or Not's ongoing development.
