Marvel Rivals Mouse Smoothening and Acceleration: How to disable them?

If you’re noticing that your mouse movements feel a bit off or not as precise as you’d like in Marvel Rivals, mouse smoothing, and acceleration might be the reason. These features can make aiming feel less natural by adding artificial adjustments to your mouse movements. Any serious gamer will tell you that mouse acceleration is the last thing you want when you are trying to build up your aim in shooter games. So, let’s discuss how it can be disabled in Marvel Rivals.

So far, there has been confusion in the community as to whether there is mouse acceleration or not. From all the player reports, we can say that, indeed, mouse smoothening and acceleration are on by default. What makes it worse is that there is no way to disable it through the in-game options. Luckily, there is a way to disable it. Here’s how you can fix it!

Marvel Rivals Mouse Smoothening and Acceleration: How to disable them?

Many players have reported that editing the .ini file in Marvel Rivals helps disable mouse smoothing and acceleration completely. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through that soon! But before diving into the game files, you’ll also need to turn off Mouse Pointer Precision in your system settings, as this feature adds acceleration at the OS level.

Remove pointer precision first

Here’s how you can turn off Mouse Pointer Precision in your system settings:

• Press the Windows key and type “Mouse settings,” then hit Enter.
• In the Mouse Settings window, click on Additional mouse options on the right side (or bottom).
• In the new window that pops up, go to the Pointer Options tab.
• Uncheck the box next to “Enhance pointer precision”.
• Click Apply, then OK to save your settings.

Your mouse will now move without acceleration, giving you more accurate control. Next, we’ll dive into how to tweak the game’s config file!

Config file edits

Here is a detailed step-by-step breakdown of the edits you need to make to disable mouse smoothening and acceleration in Marvel Rivals.

• Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
• Type %localappdata% into the text box and hit Enter.
• In the folder that opens, look for a folder named Marvel and double-click to open it.
• Inside the Marvel folder, open the Saved folder.
• In the Saved folder, find and open the Config folder. Then, open the Windows folder inside Config.
• Inside the Windows folder, locate the file named GameUserSettings.ini.
• Double-click on the file to open it in Notepad (or your preferred text editor).
• Add the script to disable Mouse Acceleration. To do this, scroll to the very bottom of the file. Copy and paste the following script at the end of the file:
  • [/Script/Engine.InputSettings]

• Double-check to ensure the script is added exactly as shown.
