Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals: A Guide

Mouse acceleration can be a real hindrance in shooters like *Marvel Rivals*. Unfortunately, the game enables it by default and doesn’t offer an in-game option to disable it. But don’t worry, here’s how you can turn it off and enhance your gameplay.

How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since *Marvel Rivals* doesn’t include an option to turn off mouse acceleration in its settings, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It’s an easy process; just follow these steps:

1. Press Windows + R and type %localappdata%. Navigate to the folder named Marvel, then to MarvelSavedConfigWindows.
2. Open the GameUserSettings.ini file. If prompted, open it with Notepad.
3. At the end of the file, paste the following lines:

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

4. Press Ctrl + S to save the changes and close the document.
5. Right-click on the file, select Properties, and check the Read-Only checkbox. Click Apply and OK.

You’ve now successfully disabled mouse acceleration in *Marvel Rivals*, which should significantly improve your aiming. Remember to also disable mouse acceleration in your Windows settings:

1. In the Windows Search Bar, type “Mouse” and click on Mouse Settings.
2. Click on Additional Mouse Options at the top right.
3. In the new window, go to the Pointer Options tab and disable Enhanced Pointer Precision. Click Apply and then OK.

What Is Mouse Acceleration & Why Is It Bad For Marvel Rivals?

Mouse acceleration adjusts your cursor's sensitivity based on the speed of your mouse movement. Quick movements result in higher sensitivity, while slower movements lower it. Although this feature can be helpful for everyday computing, it’s detrimental in precision-demanding games like *Marvel Rivals*.

In shooters, consistent sensitivity is crucial for developing muscle memory, which enhances your aim. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it impossible to build that necessary muscle memory. Now that you’ve disabled mouse acceleration, you can enjoy playing your favorite *Marvel Rivals* characters with a linear and predictable sensitivity.

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