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

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game offers no in-game setting, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It's easy; follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
2. Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
3. Open the "GameUserSettings.ini" file using Notepad (or your preferred text editor).
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

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

5. Save (Ctrl + S) and close the file.
6. Right-click "GameUserSettings.ini", select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, and click "Apply" and "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals. Your aim should feel significantly improved.

Remember to also disable mouse acceleration in Windows settings:

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

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Harmful?

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, it's disastrous for shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this, as your sensitivity constantly fluctuates.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you can now enjoy a linear and predictable aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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