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

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a whirlwind of map exploration, hero mastery, and discovering optimal playstyles. However, as players climb the Competitive Play ladder, many are experiencing aim inconsistencies. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. A simple fix exists to address this common issue. This guide explains why your aim might be inaccurate and how to rectify it.

Why is my aim inaccurate?

Marvel Rivals, by default, enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. While beneficial for controller users, this feature often hinders mouse and keyboard players, impacting precision aiming and flick shots. The game currently lacks an in-game setting to disable this.

How to disable mouse acceleration and aim smoothing

This fix involves manually adjusting the game's settings file using a text editor like Notepad. This is not considered cheating; it simply overrides a default setting. Modifying this file is akin to adjusting in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

Step-by-step guide:

1. Open the Run dialog (Windows key + R).
2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (If unsure of your username, navigate to This PC > Windows > Users).
3. Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
4. At the file's end, add these lines:

[/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 for enhanced precision.

Enjoy improved aim and dominate the Marvel Rivals battlefield!
