Marvel Rivals: How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration

If you’ve been playing Marvel Rivals and feeling like your aim’s a bit off, there’s a good chance mouse acceleration is the culprit.

This article walks you through turning off mouse acceleration, so your aim feels more natural.

How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration

Thanks to mouse acceleration, the cursor’s speed is modified based on how fast you move the mouse.

This works well on a desktop since it adjusts the pointer speed, giving you better control for small movements and faster response for quick swipes.

However, this non-linear behavior can throw off your aim and make it trickier to control in shooting games.

Turning it off helps with accuracy and makes targeting feel smoother, which is why a lot of players do it.

Since there’s no way to turn off mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals, your aim might be all over the place.

It’s much more apparent on high-resolution displays like 4K or 2K, where every movement counts.

Unfortunately, since there’s no easy way to turn off mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals, you'll need to take matters into your own hands.

There are two ways to do it: adjusting your Windows settings or changing the game's config files.

Here’s a quick rundown of the steps for both tricks:

If you’d prefer a system-wide fix that works for all your games, including Marvel Rivals, just follow these simple steps to turn off mouse acceleration in Windows:

• Open Windows Settings by pressing Win + I.
• Go to Devices > Mouse.
• Scroll down and click Additional Mouse Settings under Related Settings.
• In the Mouse Properties window, navigate to the Pointer Options tab.
• Uncheck Enhance pointer precision.
• Click Apply and then OK.

Turning off Enhance pointer precision stops Windows from changing the mouse speed, so acceleration is turned off.

This trick is efficient, doesn’t touch game files, and works for almost everything.

Trick 2

If you want more control, turn off mouse acceleration by changing the config files.

This trick just involves tweaking the GameUserSettings file, which is generally safe.

However, it does come with a bit of risk, as you’re changing game files that the developers didn’t intend for players to touch.

Here's how you can adjust the configuration files:

• Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, then type %appdata% and press Enter.
• In the file explorer, navigate to Local > Marvel > Saved > Config > Windows.
• Find the GameUserSettings.ini file and open it with Notepad.
• Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the following lines:
  [/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
Save the file and close Notepad.
Restart Marvel Rivals to apply the changes.

This trick switches off mouse smoothing and view acceleration, so aiming should feel a lot smoother and more consistent.

Can You Get Banned for Turning Off Mouse Acceleration?

As of this writing, there’s no official word from the developers about banning players from modifying game files.

However, they have advised against making changes that aren’t supported by the current version of the game.

The issue is that altering these files might give players a leg up without meaning to.

While there’s no solid proof of bans from this, it's best to proceed with care if you decide to mess with the game’s settings.

Alternatively, you can just adjust your Windows settings, which is completely safe and ensures that mouse acceleration is turned off without touching any game files.
