How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration significantly hinders performance in shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game option 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 edit a configuration file. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata%.
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, then right-click it.
6. Select "Properties," check "Read-only," click "Apply," and then "OK."

This disables mouse acceleration within the game.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows Settings

For complete consistency, also disable 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.
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 significantly improved due to consistent sensitivity. This allows for better muscle memory development and enhanced accuracy.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration adjusts sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, and slow movements result in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is detrimental to aiming in games like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving accuracy.

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