Mouse acceleration can be a real hindrance in shooters like *Marvel Rivals*, and unfortunately, it's enabled by default with no in-game option to disable it. But don't worry, here's a straightforward guide on how to turn it off for a smoother gaming 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 the game's configuration file. It's an easy process, so just follow these steps:

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

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

4. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl + S and close the file.
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*. To ensure optimal performance, also disable mouse acceleration in your Windows settings:

1. Type Mouse in the Windows Search Bar and click on Mouse Settings.
2. Click Additional Mouse Options at the top right.
3. In the new window, go to the Pointer Options tab and uncheck Enhance pointer precision.
4. Click Apply and then OK.

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in both *Marvel Rivals* and Windows, ensuring a consistent sensitivity for better aim and gameplay.

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. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, while slower movements lower it. While this can be helpful for general computer use, it's detrimental in competitive shooters like *Marvel Rivals*.

In games like *Marvel Rivals*, consistent sensitivity is crucial for developing muscle memory, which significantly enhances your aiming skills. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it impossible to build that essential muscle memory.

Now that you've turned off mouse acceleration, you can enjoy playing your favorite *Marvel Rivals* characters with a linear sensitivity, improving your overall gaming experience.

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