How To Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

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

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game option, you must modify a configuration file:

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.
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

5. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, right-click it, select Properties, check "Read-only," and click Apply.

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

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in high sensitivity, slow movements in low sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is disastrous for aiming in shooters like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for developing muscle memory and improving accuracy.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you'll experience linear sensitivity, enhancing your aiming precision and overall gameplay in Marvel Rivals.

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