Instead of entering the console commands every time, you can add the following lines to the engine.ini file (or create one) located in your game directory. In our case, it was D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ARK Survival Ascended\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\Windows:
[/script/engine.renderersettings]
r.Lumen.Reflections.Allow=0
r.VolumetricCloud=0
r.Nanite.MaxPixelsPerEdge=4
r.Shadow.Virtual.Enable=0 /// To disable Virtual Shadows
r.DynamicGlobalIlluminationMethod=0 // To disable Lumen, set it to 2 for SSGI
