Ready or Not

Attention Officers,

RoN Update v1.5.3 addresses many crashes and performance improvements across all platforms. Fixes for the Mission Editor, failures to authenticate to Epic Online Services on PS5, and issues with laser or flashlight attachments emitting from misaligned positions from weapons are also among the changes made.

Update Day General FAQ:

1. Q: ‘My game mods broke on PC with this update, why did that happen?’

   > A: When Ready or Not or games in general release updates to the game, the files for the game in areas related to new game content or fixes then changes. If mods were using the old files to function that have since changed to new files, those mods will likely need to update in order to work properly with the new version of the game’s files.

2. Q: ‘Why does an update download initially seem frustratingly large in data/gigabytes, even when the game doesn’t actually take up that much more storage when the download finishes’

   > A: Game service platforms such as Steam etc. may update games by overwriting the game's files with the new files to replace it. For example, this means a update download that initially shows as 6GB during the download may actually only expand the game by 1GB in size, since it is largely just overwriting old game files for the other 5GB of data.

3. Q: ‘Why does an update take so long to download despite my fast internet’

   > A: Other routine checks that a game service platform does to confirm game file integrity on the local storage device (e.g. your hard drive such as a HDD or SSD) during an update download can extend the perceived download size/time.

4. Q: ‘Why didn’t my game update yet on my console platform?'

   > A: Console platforms do not necessarily support auto-updates, so you may have to trigger the update manually within your game library with an internet connection.

Attention Officers,

In the v1.5 Update for RoN we are releasing the Mission Editor, a new feature allowing granular tweaking of gameplay variables within an existing mission, with a particular focus on customizing non-playable characters.

This is our initial introductory launch for the Mission Editor feature; be on the lookout for improvements to Mission Editor in the future, along with more bug fixes and content for the game.

Free New Styles of the Triple Weapon Pack Weapons, Released to All Players:

The Ready or Not Triple Weapon Pack weapons, which were initially added with RoN’s console release, are now being released for free as three new cosmetic styles to all players regardless of platform or game edition. These new free styles are the MK-V 'HC' (Hard Chrome) pistol, 590M 'FDE' (Flat Dark Earth) shotgun, and M32A1 'LSPD' Blue rotary grenade launcher.

Players who were already eligible for the triple weapon pack weapons previously (i.e. PC platform players, console pre-order owners, or console Triple Weapon Pack owners) will now have access to both the original style and the new style of each of these weapons.

We are continuously monitoring your bug reports. Please report any bugs you find in our official Ready or Not Discord, using the bug report channels! There they can be structured and collected in one place so we can most effectively deal with them: Ready or Not Bug Reports  

Please check our official Discord for an updated list of some known issues in the  #known-issues-and-fixes channel.
