Disabled Network Adapters (error 28)

Thanks, here are two more things you can try, in order of difficulty.

  1. Replace a file on disk
  2. Dive deeper into disabled network adapters.

Option 1 - Replace a file on disk

The error stems from our licencing software, and there’s a more recent version (5.0.0) that addresses this issue. You can try downloading this and replacing the equivalent files on your Ragdoll installation.

Unzip this file, and place contained the .dll in your Ragdoll installation directory.

In my case, that would be:

C:\Users\alanjfs\Documents\maya\modules\Ragdoll-2024_05_07\shared\windows

It should overwrite the existing TurboActivate.dll file in there.

Option 2 - Deep Dive

To ensure you re-installed and/or disabled the network driver in question, try running this command from a PowerShell window and confirm you recognise them.

Get-NetAdapter

It should print out something like this.

You can ignore anything virtual and anything Bluetooth. In my case, there are 3 adapters, Marvell, Intel(R) I211 and Intel(R) Wi-Fi. I would ensure these are all enabled.

Let me know how you get along, and we’ll take it from there.
