🔥FIX LAGS: FPS Boost in ARK SA🔥

This guide is designed to turn your "slideshow" into a smooth gameplay experience. We will disable the heaviest Unreal Engine 5 features (Lumen, clouds, shadows), providing a massive performance boost without losing image clarity.

Open the in-game console (press ~) and paste the following line:

grass.sizeScale 0 | grass.DensityScale 0 | foliage.DensityScale 0 | sg.EffectsQuality 1 | r.ShadowQuality 0 | r.Shadow.CSM.MaxCascades 0 | r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.Allow 0 | r.ContactShadows 0 | r.DistanceFieldAO 0 | r.VolumetricCloud 0 | r.VolumetricFog 0 | r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection 1 | r.Fog 0 | r.ViewDistanceScale 0.5 | r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge 1 | r.MotionBlurQuality 0 | r.BloomQuality 0 | r.ReflectionMethod 0 | r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable 0 | r.SkeletalMeshLODBias 1 | r.DetailMode 0 | r.SceneColorFringeQuality 0 | r.DistanceFieldShadowing 0 | r.CustomDepth 0 | r.SSGI.Quality 0 | r.SSR.Quality 0 | r.AmbientOcclusionLevels 0 | r.RefractionQuality 0 | r.ScreenPercentage 100 | r.EyeAdaptationQuality 2 | r.EyeAdaptation.LensAttenuation 0.4 | r.SkylightIntensityMultiplier 0.7 | r.Streaming.PoolSize 5000

Fastest way to do it:

• 1. Highlight the entire text in the field above (from start to finish).
  
• 2. Press Ctrl + C (copy).
  
• 3. Go to the game, open the console, and press Ctrl + V (paste).
  
• 4. Press Enter. All commands will apply instantly.

You can replace 5000 at the end of the main command with the appropriate number based on your GPU:
⭐ 4 GB ⭐ 6 GB ⭐ 8 GB ⭐ 12 GB+
In ARK SA, you can combine technologies to balance quality and speed.

• In Menu: Set DLSS (DLAA) or FSR (Native) + enable Frame Generation (DLSS / FSR).
  
• In Console: Type r.ScreenPercentage 100
  
• Result: Crystal clear image without "blur" and high smoothness.

• In Menu: Set Quality/Balance preset + enable Frame Generation (DLSS / FSR).
  
• In Console: DO NOT ENTER r.ScreenPercentage 100.
  
• Result: Huge frame rate boost for low and mid-range PCs.

⚠️ Note: Frame Generation causes input lag. To reduce "floaty" mouse movement, enable Reflex (NVIDIA) or Anti-Lag (AMD). It is recommended to disable Frame Generation (DLSS / FSR) during PVP combat.

r.EyeAdaptationQuality 2 | r.EyeAdaptation.LensAttenuation 0.4 | r.SkylightIntensityMultiplier 0.7

⚠️ Warning: Exposure settings were tuned on a calibrated OLED monitor! If you don't like the result, you can adjust the values to suit your own display.

If glare or adaptive brightness bothers you, try changing these parameters:

• r.SkylightIntensityMultiplier 1 - Restores default sky lighting brightness.
  
• r.EyeAdaptationQuality 0 - Completely disables dynamic exposure.
  
• gamma 2.2 - Standard default value.
  
• gamma 3 - 4 - Optimal range for visibility adjustments.
