Marvel Rivals: Sharpen Your Aim – Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a whirlwind! Players have mastered the maps, heroes, and abilities, discovering their preferred playstyles and main characters. However, as the competitive ladder beckons, some players are experiencing aim issues. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have found a simple solution: disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

Why is my aim inaccurate? How can I fix it? This guide provides the answers.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing by default. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it. While beneficial for controller users, many keyboard and mouse players prefer to disable it for improved precision, especially for flick shots. The preference is personal, depending on individual playstyle and chosen heroes.

The solution involves a simple PC-side adjustment to the game's settings file. This is not considered cheating or modding; it's simply modifying a setting that many games allow in-game. Modifying the game file is how settings like crosshair and sensitivity are updated.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration

1. Open the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual user profile name (found by navigating to This PC > Windows > Users): C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows
3. Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
4. Add the following lines of code at the bottom of the file:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
RawMouseInputEnabled=1

5. Save and close the file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration are now disabled, prioritizing raw mouse input.

Enjoy improved aim and precision in your Marvel Rivals matches!
