Attention Officers,

Update v1.5.3 for Ready or Not brings crucial stability patches, eliminating multiple crash scenarios and delivering noticeable performance enhancements across all supported platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions: Update Day

Q: Why are my PC mods broken following this update?
A: When game developers release patches, underlying asset files and code structures inevitably change. Modifications that rely on legacy files will inevitably fail until mod creators update their work to align with the latest game version.
Official Modding Resources: Void Interactive Community Resources
Q: Why does the download size appear significantly larger than the actual storage space consumed on my drive?
A: Distribution platforms like Steam often patch games by replacing and overwriting existing files. For example, a 6GB download might only increase your overall install size by 1GB, as the remaining 5GB simply replaces outdated files.
Q: Why is my download taking so long despite having a high-speed internet connection?
A: Throughout the download process, platforms routinely perform integrity checks on your local storage (HDD or SSD). These background verifications can prolong the overall patching time.
Q: Why hasn’t my console version updated automatically?
A: Console platforms do not always support automated background updates. You may need to manually trigger the update from your game library while connected to the internet.
