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
  1. Save (Ctrl + S) and close the file.
  2. 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:

  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. Enjoy improved aim and consistent sensitivity!

What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?

Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements lower it. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental in shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly altering sensitivity. By disabling it, you achieve linear sensitivity, leading to more precise aiming and better gameplay.

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