Disable Mouse Acceleration: Optimize Gaming Experience 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. This guide explains how to manually disable it.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you must modify a configuration file. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata% and press Enter.
2. Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
3. Open the "GameUserSettings.ini" file 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. Press Ctrl + S to save the changes.
6. Right-click the "GameUserSettings.ini" file, select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, click "Apply", and then "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration within Marvel Rivals. For optimal results, also disable it in Windows settings:

1. In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings".
2. Click "Additional mouse options" in the top right corner.
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 should be significantly improved.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and its Impact

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in high sensitivity, while slow movements produce low sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental to shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

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

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