Mouse acceleration can significantly hinder your performance in first-person shooters, and *Marvel Rivals* is no exception. Unfortunately, the game defaults to having mouse acceleration enabled, with no in-game option to disable it. Fear not, as we'll walk you through the simple steps to turn off mouse acceleration in *Marvel Rivals* and improve your gameplay experience.

How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since *Marvel Rivals* doesn't offer an in-game setting to disable mouse acceleration, you'll need to tweak a configuration file. Here’s how to do it:

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

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

4. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl + S and close the document.
5. Right-click on the file, select Properties, and check the Read-Only box. Click Apply and then OK.

You've now successfully disabled mouse acceleration in *Marvel Rivals*, which should enhance your aiming precision. Don't forget to disable mouse acceleration in Windows settings as well:

1. Type Mouse in the Windows Search Bar and click on Mouse Settings.

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

Mouse acceleration adjusts your cursor's speed based on how quickly you move your mouse. A fast flick results in higher sensitivity, while slower movements lead to lower sensitivity. While this might be helpful for everyday computing, it's detrimental in shooters like *Marvel Rivals*.

In games that demand precision, consistent sensitivity is key. It allows you to develop muscle memory, which is crucial for accurate aiming. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it impossible to build that essential muscle memory.

Now that you've disabled mouse acceleration, you can enjoy playing your favorite *Marvel Rivals* characters with a more linear and predictable aiming experience.

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