How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is a significant detriment in shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. Unfortunately, this feature is enabled by default with no in-game option to disable it. Here's how to rectify this issue.

How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game toggle, you'll need to adjust the game's settings file. It's a straightforward process:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata%.
2. Locate the Marvel folder, then navigate to MarvelSavedConfigWindows.
3. Open the GameUserSettings.ini file using Notepad.
4. Paste the following lines at 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, and click Apply and OK.

You've successfully disabled mouse acceleration in-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" in the top right.
3. Navigate to the "Pointer Options" tab and uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
4. Click Apply and OK.

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, your aim should feel significantly improved.

What Is Mouse Acceleration & Why Is It Bad For Marvel Rivals?

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 aiming skills.

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

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