Automatically optimize the game with a series of commands, specially useful for consoles. Aims at 40-60 fps on PS5 and XSX without heavily sacrificing visuals.

Instructions:

Apply the mod to a server load the commands on join.

Enable the mod on single player, start a single player game and it will apply the commands.

Both methods will apply the changes and should remain until the game is closed.

How to remove

Relaunch the game and the changes will be reverted.

Note: ARK Survival Ascended looks to be somewhat CPU limited on consoles, meaning this optimizations will work best when playing on a server as in singleplayer the performance will be limited by the amount of dinos nearby.
