Mouse acceleration is a major drawback 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 fix that.
Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals
Because the game lacks an in-game setting, you'll need to edit the game's configuration file. It's easy; just follow these steps:
- Press Windows key + R, then type
%localappdata%and press Enter. - Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
- Open the "GameUserSettings.ini" file using Notepad (or a similar text editor).
- Paste the following lines at the end of the file:
[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False- Press Ctrl + S to save, then close the file.
- Right-click "GameUserSettings.ini", select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, click "Apply", and then "OK".
You've now disabled mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals. Your aim should feel significantly improved.
Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows
It's also crucial to disable mouse acceleration in Windows settings. Here's how:
- In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings".
- Click "Additional mouse options" in the top right corner.
- Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
- Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
- Click "Apply" and then "OK".
With mouse acceleration disabled in both the game and Windows, you'll have consistent sensitivity, improving your aim and muscle memory in Marvel Rivals.
Understanding Mouse Acceleration
Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental to shooters like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is key for building muscle memory and improving aim.
Now that mouse acceleration is disabled, you can enjoy a more precise and responsive gaming experience in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
