Common Bug Fixes

Please view the below list of known issues that cannot be fixed through tech support or at least not yet.

Serialization/corrupt data on launch OR I Can't Launch the Game Outside of Safe Mode
This is caused 100% by mods. Do not use the clear mod data option on launch, it will also delete your save (cosmetics, maps, etc.) and may not remove all mods.

1) Right click the game on Steam, select properties. Alternatively, select the game, and hit the gear icon on the right side under the banner.

2) Go to installed files and select “browse” local files.

3) Navigate to ReadyorNot > content > paks

4) ONLY DELETE FILES THAT ARE NOT "pakchunkx-windows." You can delete anything extra including the Modio folder.
> Exception: If you have a pakchunk20, you can delete that one, that file is causing crashes and does not need to be installed.

5) Go back to Steam properties page and verify the game files.

I Did Not Receive an Update/I Do Not See the DLC Tab At All
This is caused by being on the test branch, it is outdated and will no longer be updated. Do not enable it.

1) Right click the game on Steam, select properties. Alternatively, select the game, and hit the gear icon on the right side under the banner.

2) Go to betas

3) On the drop down menu, unselect the test branch, select none.

4) Update the game.

Black Screen on Launch
This may be caused by outside software such as Voicemeeter.

1) Using your dedicated driver software, update your computer to the latest graphic drivers.

2) Update your Windows if an update is available.

3) Remove any mods (view prior steps.)

4) Verify the game files.

5) Try launching in the alternative launch DX (DX11/12)

6) Try launching the game .exe as administrative.
