How do I add more than one thing to my launch options?
I want to enable the current event to my single player game which requires me to put this line of code in my launch option: -ActiveEvent=Easter

However, I currently have -preventhibernation currently there.

How do I put them both in so they will work? I tried putting them both as is but spaced apart but I am pretty sure it didn't work (s+ transmitter scan isn't listing any bunny oviraptors)

I am sure there are people out there with more than one launch option, how would I put them in?

Edit: Just tried putting them together with a space like this:
-preventhibernation-ActiveEvent=Easter and the game keeps crashing. Guess that didn't work :P

You need to had a space between the code lines, for example:

-preventhibernation -ActiveEvent=Easter

The Easter egg event its not working at the moment, it start only day 7 April

The ActiveEvent switch no longer works for enabling events out of season. They turned it off just after the valentines day events.

But in single player you can ignore event time, just put -ActiveEvent=eventname to start a event in any date, you dont need to wait, your only problem was missing the space between commands , you can only have one active event at time, restart the game to change events

This, event assets have been removed, more then they told us common users.
So any past event you want to activate, if even working at all, will likely not allow you to get anything besides colored dino's.

I did not even get colored dinos when I tried. The funny thing is the Structures plus cooking pot recognized the switch and displayed the easter recipes but no components dropped in-game to make the recipes.

this maybe too late, but i found out you can run 2 commands before %command% using the logical AND operator (&&).

for example, i want to run 'gamemode' command and 'mangohud' command at the same time, it will be like:

gamemode && mangohud %command% (and maybe after the %command% you can define variables like MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1)

MAke sure to put a reshade command BEFORE the modded launch command like reshade comman && mod launcher command.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
