Ready or Not - How to Fix Corrupt Data Found Error

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of technical hiccups and game-related headaches. The Corrupt Data issue in Ready or Not was one such annoyance that had me pulling my hair out for a while. But fear not, fellow gamers! After following the instructions meticulously, I can confirm that my game is now as smooth as a baby’s bottom once more.


As a die-hard fan, I’m all about the pulse-pounding action of Ready or Not, where I step into the boots of a SWAT team member. This tactical first-person shooter has me executing missions ranging from hostage rescues to apprehending terrorists. For those who crave an even deeper immersion, mods are available, but they can sometimes bring issues like corrupted game files and bugs. If the Corrupt Data issue is giving you pause and you’re unsure how to handle it, our guide is here to help!

How to Fix Corrupt Data Issue in Ready or Not

As a fan, I’d share this: If you fire up “Ready or Not” and later receive a message about Corrupt Data, it’s probably because of the mods you’ve installed. Under no circumstances should you opt to clear mods at startup, as there’s a high likelihood that you’ll erase your maps and records, without fully removing all mods.

Great news, fellow gamer! I’ve found a workaround for this problem we’re facing. To sort things out, begin by right-clicking on Ready or Not in Steam and choose Properties. Next, head to the installed files and click Browse. From there, delve into the ReadyorNot/Content/Paks folders.

Upon arrival, locate and remove any files that do not bear the name “pakchunk0-20-windows”. Lastly, navigate your way back to the game’s settings on Steam and select the ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’ option.

Based on my own experiences with gaming and dealing with corrupted data, I strongly advise against downloading old mods that haven’t been updated beyond version 1.0. I’ve encountered numerous instances where these outdated mods have caused problems, leading to hours of frustration trying to fix the errors they created. To avoid such situations in the future, I recommend checking for updates or disabling mods you already have installed.
