Launch options for ASA?
Are there any launch options like for ASE, for example "-nomansky", "-high" or "-useallavailablecores"?

Some in-game Commands for FPS:

r.SkyAtmosphere 0
r.VolumetricCloud 0
r.Water.SingleLayer 0
r.Water.SingleLayer.Reflection 0
show InstancedFoliage
show InstancedGrass
show InstancedStaticMeshes
r.MaterialQualityLevel 0

Also need a option to launch game from the desktop icon, without having Battle eye installed for people playing their own server. Currently, I have the "No Battle eye" box ticked in options, and it opens game fine from inside steam. However, when double click the desktop Icon, it asks to install Battleye and if you cancel, the game wont open.

Now dat interesting, used this commands for testing. GPU with them used for just 20%, CPU for 30%, 60% of RAM, 7% of disk and it still 50 fps with dips to 30. So what the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with this game optimization.

a lot of people used to use the following steam launch option shown below for Ark Survival Evolve. but i don't know how to update it for ASA. I would use the following site to come up with your own launch options

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/7D01-D2DD-D75E-2955

-high -maxMem=65536 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -cpuCount=10 -exThreads=16 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded +fps_max 0 -high -nojoy -dxlevel 95 -forcenovsync +exec autoexec

If you put all the commands you want to use in a Text Document oyu can type a single command to activate them all.
Browse local files for ASA, then open Shooter game then Binaries and place the text document there.
Make sure the name of you text document is called something simple like "fpsboost" or just "fps"
Then in game use this command to activate them all. vv

exec fpsboost.txt

The question was not answered. Could they be used as launch options so I don't need to type them every time? It's a yes or no question. I imagine the answer might be NO, but it was not said.

So instead, I will ask if there's a way to set them up so you don't have to input them every time. I tried using Lily's Tweaks, as suggested by someone else, and I have no idea what it does, because it clearly states that it does not grant the commands, so what good is it?
-USEALL...
Is a parameter for starting in Steam.

The others with r. infront are only for ingameconsole.
I would recommend to add
r.VolumetricFog 0
too cuz the Fog ingame needs a log of ressources.

The good thing with the consolecommands is that u can type them one time and as long u dont add other consolecommands u have them in list and activate it in startingmenue before joining any server. Just simply doubleclick on consoleopenkey and quickly apply the commands <3
