Fix Your Aim in Marvel Rivals: Tips and Tricks

*Marvel Rivals* has garnered enthusiastic feedback from players during Season 0 - Dooms' Rise, with everyone familiarizing themselves with the maps, heroes, and their unique abilities. As players delve deeper into the game and start climbing the Competitive Play ladder, some have encountered issues with their aim feeling less precise than expected. If you're one of those players feeling off-kilter with your aim, you're not alone. Many have discovered a simple solution to improve their accuracy by disabling a feature that's affecting their gameplay. If you're curious about why your aim might feel off and how to fix it, this guide has all the information you need.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*, mouse acceleration and aim smoothing are enabled by default. Unlike many other games, there's currently no option within the in-game settings to turn these features on or off. While these features can be beneficial for controller users, they often hinder the precision required by mouse and keyboard players for quick and accurate shots. Whether you prefer these features on or off largely depends on your playstyle and the heroes you choose.

Fortunately, PC players can easily disable these settings by modifying a game file using a text editor like Notepad. This tweak is not considered modding, hacking, or cheating; it's simply adjusting a setting that many games allow you to toggle. Every time you change a setting in *Marvel Rivals*, such as your crosshair or sensitivity, you're updating this same file.

Step-by-Step Process for Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

1. Open the Run dialog using the shortcut Windows + R.
2. Copy and paste the following path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your user profile name:
   • C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEHEREAppDataLocalMarvelSavedConfigWindows
   • If you're unsure of your username, navigate to This PC < Windows < Users to find it.
3. Press enter to access the location of your system settings save file. Right-click the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
4. At the bottom of the file, add the following lines of code:

[script/engine.inputsettings]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

Save and close the file. You've now successfully disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration for Marvel Rivals. To further ensure raw mouse input takes priority and override any other aim processing sequences, you can add these additional lines of code right after the ones you just added:

[script/engine.inputsettings]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

bDisableMouseAcceleration=False

RawMouseInputEnabled=1
