Marvel Rivals Mouse Acceleration Disabled

Mouse acceleration is a major drawback for competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game unfortunately enables mouse acceleration by default, lacking an in-game toggle. Here's how to disable it:

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game doesn't provide a setting to disable mouse acceleration, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It's a straightforward process:

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. Save the changes (Ctrl + S) and close the file.
6. Right-click the GameUserSettings.ini file, select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, and click "Apply" and "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals. 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. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab and uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
4. Click "Apply" and "OK".

With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, you'll experience a much more consistent and predictable aiming experience.

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?

Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts your mouse sensitivity based on movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this is highly undesirable in shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity, hindering your ability to develop precise aiming skills.

Now that you've eliminated mouse acceleration, you can focus on mastering your favorite Marvel Rivals characters with improved accuracy.

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