Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is a major drawback for competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is unfortunately no exception. The game defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game option to disable it. Here's how to fix that.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game setting, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It's easy; just follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata%.
2. Locate the Marvel folder, then navigate to MarvelSavedConfigWindows.
3. Open GameUserSettings.ini using Notepad (or your preferred text editor).
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

5. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, and then right-click it.
6. Select "Properties," check the "Read-only" box, click "Apply," and then "OK."

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in the game. Your aim should feel significantly improved.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows

It's also crucial to disable mouse acceleration in your Windows settings:

1. In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings."
2. Click "Additional mouse options" in the upper right.
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK."

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, you'll experience consistent sensitivity, improving your aim and muscle memory in Marvel Rivals.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, and slow movements in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental to shooters like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is key for building muscle memory and improving aim.

Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
