How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is detrimental to competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game toggle, requiring manual configuration. Here's how to disable it:

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you must modify the game's 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

For complete consistency, also disable mouse acceleration in your Windows settings:

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

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

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

With mouse acceleration disabled, your aim will be significantly more precise and consistent. Enjoy a smoother, more responsive gaming experience in Marvel Rivals!

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