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 defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game toggle, so here's how to disable it.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game option, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It's easy; just 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.
4. Paste the following lines at the end of the file:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

5. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, then right-click it, select Properties, check "Read-only," and click Apply.

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

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

Now mouse acceleration is disabled in both Marvel Rivals and Windows. Enjoy improved aim and consistent sensitivity!

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and Why It's Detrimental

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in high sensitivity, slow movements in low sensitivity. 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 prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you'll experience a linear, predictable response, enhancing your gameplay in Marvel Rivals.

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