Author : Charlotte May 03,2025

*Marvel Rivals* has taken the gaming community by storm during Season 0 - Dooms' Rise. Players have been diving into the game, familiarizing themselves with the maps, heroes, and their unique abilities, and determining which characters align best with their playstyles. However, as the excitement of initial games subsides and players start climbing the Competitive Play ladder, some have reported feeling a lack of control over their aim.

If you're struggling with your aim and feeling slightly off as you adapt to *Marvel Rivals* and its diverse cast of characters, you're not alone. Many players have discovered a straightforward solution to address one of the primary culprits behind inconsistent aim. If you're curious about why your aim might feel off and how to improve it, the guide below has all the details you need.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*, mouse acceleration/aim smoothing is enabled by default, and unlike many other games, there's currently no in-game option to toggle it on or off. While this feature can be beneficial for controller users, mouse and keyboard players often prefer to disable it, as it can hinder the precision needed for flick shots and quick aiming. Preferences vary, with some players favoring it on, while others, particularly those using certain heroes, opt to turn it off.

Fortunately, PC players can easily disable this feature by modifying the game's configuration file using a text editor like Notepad. Rest assured, this isn't considered modding, hacking, or cheating; it's simply adjusting a setting that many games allow you to toggle. Whenever you change settings in *Marvel Rivals*, such as your crosshair or sensitivity, these changes are reflected in this file.

Step-by-Step Process for Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

  1. Open the Run dialog using the shortcut Windows + R.
  2. Copy and paste the following path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual user profile name:
    • C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEHEREAppDataLocalMarvelSavedConfigWindows
    • If you're unsure of your username, navigate to This PC < Windows < Users to find it.
  3. Press enter to access the location of your system settings save file. Right-click on the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
  4. At the bottom of the file, add the following lines of code:

[script/engine.inputsettings]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

Save and close the file. You've now successfully disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration in Marvel Rivals. For an additional step to ensure raw mouse input is prioritized, you can also add these lines:

[script/engine.inputsettings]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
