3. Open "GameUserSettings.ini" using Notepad (or your preferred text editor).

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

5. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, then right-click it, select "Properties," check "Read-only," and click "Apply."

You've now disabled mouse acceleration within the game. For optimal performance, also disable it in Windows:

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and Why It's Detrimental

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

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

Now that you've disabled mouse acceleration, enjoy a more responsive and predictable aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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