How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Authore: GeorgeUpdate:Jan 20,2025

Mouse acceleration is detrimental to competitive shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game unfortunately defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game toggle. Here's how to disable it:

Since the game lacks an in-game option, you'll need to edit a configuration file. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Press Windows key + R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
  2. Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
  3. Open "GameUserSettings.ini" 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
  1. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, then right-click it, select "Properties", check "Read-only", and click "Apply" and "OK".

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

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 improved due to consistent sensitivity. This allows you to develop muscle memory and enhance your gameplay.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Faster movements result in higher sensitivity, slower movements in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is a major drawback in shooters like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving accuracy.

Now, enjoy a more responsive and precise aiming experience in Marvel Rivals!

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