Marvel Rivals: Sharpen Your Aim – Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a blast! Players are mastering maps, heroes, and abilities, discovering their preferred playstyles and main characters. However, as the competitive climb begins, some players report aim inconsistencies. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have found a simple solution: disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

Why is my aim inaccurate? How can I fix it? This guide provides the answers.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing by default. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it. While beneficial for controller users, many keyboard and mouse players prefer to disable it for improved precision, especially for flick shots. The preference is personal and depends on your playstyle and chosen heroes.

The solution involves a simple, non-cheating edit to the game's settings file using a text editor like Notepad. Modifying this file is how the game updates settings like crosshair and sensitivity; you're simply adjusting existing parameters.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration

  1. Open the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
  2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (If unsure of your username, navigate to This PC > Windows > Users).
  3. Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
  4. At the file's end, add these lines:
[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
RawMouseInputEnabled=1
  1. Save and close the file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration are now disabled, prioritizing raw mouse input.

Enjoy the improved precision!
