-ActiveEvent=Easter not working
I have added this launch command to my dedicated server, but it does not seem to do anything. No increased rates, no event recipes in the cooking pot. Anyone else have this problem?

EDIT: Does anyone have the bonus rates for Eggcellent Adventure 5 working on their unofficial server?

Hi, do you also have the x4 xp that works?
Because I only have the event without the x4 ...

These are the bonus rates for the event:

4X Breeding (mating interval, egg hatch speed, and maturation)
4X Player XP
4X Harvesting
4X Taming

Eggcellent Adventure 5 seems to be working without using any event parameter. The event recipes are in the cooking pot, and bunny dodo/oviraptors are spawning. But after hatching an egg to test out the rates, it does not seem like it's at x4 hatch speed.

Are these rates supposed to apply to unofficial servers?

Increased rates don't apply to unofficial servers, if an unofficial admin wants to increase rates they do it themselves, imagine the chaos if a super boosted server suddenly went x4. It'd break the game.. The Active Event system was removed from the game due to consoles not having enough memory, as such events now run only when wildcard run them through patches I guess.

Ahh ok, makes sense. Thanks for clarifying!

untrue. my server has manually activated events.

I use ASM, as in if I used to want an event to run I'd have to manually use the the -ActiveEvent line in my server startup, But since Genesis it has become automatic with the patches. Trying to activate an event with -ActiveEvent no longer works. Since everyone gets the same patches.. you know except linux and mac, then the event system now works the same way for everyone. If yours doesn't it's for some other reason like mods or homebrew events. The devs confirmed they've removed the ActiveEvent system from the game.
