Ready or Not is a tactical first-person shooter game where you can team up with your friend over the internet to enjoy the game. But due to its early release, the connectivity methods game users are not very efficient, and the connection drops from time to time. Even the slightest disturbance in internet connectivity may throw this error. I recommend you to stop any background download and troubleshoot your internet connectivity and see if it fixes the issue.

Windows comes with its build-in firewall system which prevents apps to use excessive internet. Since Ready or Not is a server-based game, you need to give it full internet access. Here’s how you can do this:

Some game files might be flagged by the operating system and that’s the reason why it is not working. You can try running the game in administrator mode and see if it helps.

Open Windows firewall settings.
