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:

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%.
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. Save (Ctrl + S) and 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 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".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in both Marvel Rivals and Windows. Consistent sensitivity improves muscle memory and aim, leading to better gameplay.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration adjusts sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, slow movements in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is detrimental to aiming in games like Marvel Rivals, preventing the development of crucial muscle memory.
