How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is a major drawback for competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game frustratingly defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game option to disable it. This guide shows you how to fix that.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game toggle, you'll need to edit the game's configuration file. It's easy! 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" with 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 successfully disabled mouse acceleration in-game! Your aim should feel significantly improved.

Remember to also disable mouse acceleration in Windows settings:

1. Search for "Mouse" in the Windows search bar.
2. Select "Mouse settings".
3. Click "Additional mouse options" (top right).
4. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
5. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
6. Click "Apply" and "OK".

Now you've eliminated mouse acceleration in both the game and Windows, ensuring consistent sensitivity for improved aim in Marvel Rivals.

Why Mouse Acceleration Hurts Your Gameplay

Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts 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 crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity, hindering your ability to develop precise control.

Enjoy a smoother, more responsive aiming experience in Marvel Rivals now that mouse acceleration is disabled!

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