How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is detrimental to competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game frustratingly enables mouse acceleration by default, lacking an in-game toggle. Here's how to disable it:

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game offers no in-game setting, you must manually edit a configuration file. Follow these simple 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 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, and then right-click it.
6. Select "Properties", check "Read-only", click "Apply", and then "OK".

This disables mouse acceleration within the game. For optimal results, also disable it in Windows:

1. In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings".
2. Click "Additional mouse options" (top right).
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
5. Click "Apply" and then "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in both Marvel Rivals and Windows. Enjoy improved, consistent aim!

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?

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

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration constantly changes your sensitivity, preventing the development of this crucial muscle memory.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you'll experience linear and predictable aiming, leading to significantly improved performance in Marvel Rivals.

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