Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration significantly hinders aiming accuracy in shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game option to disable it. Here's how to manually disable it:

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you must modify a configuration file. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata% and press Enter.
2. Locate the Marvel folder, then navigate to MarvelSavedConfigWindows.
3. Open GameUserSettings.ini using Notepad (or a similar 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, then right-click it.
6. Select "Properties," check the "Read-only" box, click "Apply," and then "OK."

This disables mouse acceleration within the game.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows Settings

For complete consistency, also 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 corner.
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK."

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. This is generally user-friendly for everyday tasks, but detrimental to competitive gaming. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly altering your sensitivity.

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, you'll experience a more responsive and consistent aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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