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 toggle, requiring manual configuration. Here's how to disable it:

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Because the game lacks an in-game option, you must edit the settings 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. Press Ctrl + S to save, then close Notepad.
6. Right-click GameUserSettings.ini, select Properties, check "Read-only," click Apply, and then OK.

This disables mouse acceleration within the game.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows

For complete consistency, also disable it 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.

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is detrimental to aiming in games 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 aim and overall gameplay.

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