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 report frustrating 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 toggle. While useful for controller users, many keyboard and mouse players prefer to disable it for improved precision, especially for flick shots. The preference is personal and depends on individual playstyles and chosen heroes.

Fortunately, a simple PC fix exists. This involves manually adjusting the game's settings file—a common practice, not considered cheating or modding. Modifying this file is how the game updates settings like crosshair and sensitivity.

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

1. Open the Run dialog (Windows key + R).
2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your user profile: 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 this code:

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

5. Save and close the file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration are now disabled. The added lines override aim processing, prioritizing raw mouse input. Enjoy improved precision!
