How To Disable Mouse Acceleration 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. Here's how to manually disable it:

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game toggle, 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 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. Press Ctrl + S to save, then close the file.
6. Right-click GameUserSettings.ini, select Properties, check the "Read-only" box, click Apply, and then OK.

This disables mouse acceleration within the game. For optimal results, also disable it in Windows settings:

Disabling 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. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
5. Click Apply and OK.

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, your aim will be significantly more consistent, allowing you to develop crucial muscle memory for improved gameplay.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and its Impact

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is detrimental to shooters. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and accurate aiming. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

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