Marvel Rivals: Guide to Disable Mouse Acceleration

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. This guide explains how to manually disable it.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, 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:

1. In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings."
2. Click "Additional mouse options" in the upper right corner.
3. Go 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 and Why It's Detrimental

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in high sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental in shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing sensitivity.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you'll experience linear sensitivity, leading to better aim and gameplay.

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