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:

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you must modify the game's configuration file. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type %localappdata%.
2. Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
3. Open "GameUserSettings.ini" using Notepad (or a similar text editor).
4. Paste the following lines at 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 "Read-only", and click "Apply" and "OK".

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

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!

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?

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 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 your 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.
