How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration significantly hinders performance in shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game unfortunately defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game toggle 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 the "GameUserSettings.ini" file 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. Press Ctrl + S to save, then close the file.
6. Right-click "GameUserSettings.ini", select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, click "Apply", and then "OK".

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

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows

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

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, your aim will be more consistent and precise, improving your overall gameplay in Marvel Rivals.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and Why It's Detrimental

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency 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.

Now that mouse acceleration is disabled, enjoy a more responsive and consistent aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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