How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Mouse acceleration is a significant detriment 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 fix this.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game toggle, you must manually edit a configuration file. It's straightforward; 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 your preferred 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, then close the file.

6. Right-click "GameUserSettings.ini", select "Properties", check "Read-only", and click "Apply" and "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration within the game. 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 upper right.
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab and uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
4. Click "Apply" and then "OK".

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and Why It's Detrimental

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, slow movements in lower 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 improved aim and enjoy a more responsive gameplay experience with your favorite Marvel Rivals characters.

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