Disable Mouse Acceleration for Enhanced Marvel Rivals Gameplay

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:

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you must modify the game's configuration file. This is straightforward:

1. Press Windows key + R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
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) and close the file.
6. Right-click "GameUserSettings.ini", select "Properties", check "Read-only", and click "Apply" and "OK".

This disables mouse acceleration within the game. For optimal results, 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 corner.
3. Navigate to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
5. Click "Apply" and "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in both Marvel Rivals and Windows. Enjoy improved aim and consistent sensitivity!

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. 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.

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.
