Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals for Enhanced Gameplay

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.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because 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, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
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 Marvel Rivals. Your aim should feel significantly improved.

Remember to also disable mouse acceleration in 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 and uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
4. Click "Apply" and then "OK."

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

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental in shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is key. It allows you to develop muscle memory for precise aiming. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

Now that you've disabled it, enjoy a more responsive and consistent aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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