How to turn off mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Precision is a key factor when taking the field in Marvel Rivals, as one misclick can lead to your — and in the worst-case scenario — your team’s demise. But what can you do when, unfortunately for many players, one default setting seems to be making that a common occurrence? Here’s how to turn off mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals, as well as what exactly the setting does.

As there’s currently no way to turn off the setting from within the game, the only sure way to turn off mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals requires you to head straight to its files. You can do that by first heading to AppData\Local\Marvel. Once there, head to Safe, Config, and then to Windows before doing the following:

• Select GameUserSettings
• Open the file
• Add the following lines to the file as shown below. Make sure to add them at the end to avoid any disruptions.
  • [/script/engine.inputsettings]
  • bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
  • bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
• Close the file after making sure your changes are saved and then boot Marvel Rivals.

Keep in mind that although disabling the feature has yet to be pinpointed as the main cause for any ban, the way you cannot do so in-game can open you up for it. So make sure to take your time if you are not 100% sure.

How Does Mouse Acceleration Work?

True to its name, Mouse Acceleration is a feature present in most modern games that boosts the range in which your cursor will move based on the speed at which you move your mouse. That can then lead to a huge decrease in precision, especially when in high-stakes situations, where having the same movement yield different results is never a good thing.
