How to Fix Ready or Not Crashing at Startup on Windows.

The first thing you need to do if you are having game issues, performance issues, and general lag issues is to update your graphics drivers. I highly suggest a clean installation of GPU drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).

Visit the official website of your computer or graphics card manufacturer to get the latest graphics drivers.
Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely uninstall your current graphics drivers.
After the uninstallation, proceed to install the new drivers you downloaded.
This guarantees a clean installation, minimizing the chances of facing generic driver issues.
Once your computer restarts, you should be able to play Ready or Not without any complications, assuming the servers are operational.

Make Sure Ready or Note is Running in High-Performance Mode.

Sometimes new games and software aren't registered properly in Windows which means they may have performance problems such as low frame rates, frame drops, instability and even high ping. That is where this step comes in handy.

Open Windows Settings by pressing Windows Key + I.
Next, go to Display > Graphics.
On this page click the Add Desktop App button and select the Ready or Not.exe file inside the installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ready or Not

Once you have done this use the drop-down arrow next to Ready or Not to expand more options.
Here change the GPU preference option from Let Windows Decide to High Performance.

After you have made this change restart your computer and check to see if the game's working better.

Run Ready or Not as Administrator.

Another quick fix is to run the game as an administrator. Yes, you can do this with Steam games and it does sometimes solve this problem. To run a game as an Administrator on Steam, go to Steam and do the following.

Go to your Steam library then right-click on Ready or Not and select properties > installed files > browse.

Right-click the game .exe and select Run as admin.

Uninstall and Reinstall Ready or Not.

If nothing in this guide has worked you have two options.
1. download and install the game again
2. wait for updates to patch the performance issue.

As the game gets more and more popular there will probably even be some driver updates that address common performance issues. Alternatively, you could try verifying game files in Steam.

Launch Steam.
Go to the game library.
Right-click on Ready or Not and open Properties.
Go to the Installed Files tab.
Click on Verify integrity of game files.
Launch the game from Steam and see if the error disappears.
