Marvel Rivals Season 0: Conquer Aim Issues by Disabling Mouse Acceleration

Many Marvel Rivals players, while enjoying Season 0 – Doom's Rise and mastering heroes and maps, are experiencing aim inconsistencies as they climb the Competitive Play ladder. This guide addresses this common frustration by showing how to disable mouse acceleration and aim smoothing, a feature enabled by default but not directly adjustable in-game.

Why Disable Aim Smoothing?

Mouse acceleration/aim smoothing, beneficial for controller users, often hinders precision aiming for keyboard and mouse players, impacting flick shots and consistent accuracy. Disabling it allows for raw, high-precision mouse input. This is not considered cheating; it's simply adjusting a setting that many games provide as an option. Modifying this setting file is similar to changing in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

This process involves a simple edit to a game configuration file using a text editor like Notepad.

1. Access the Run Dialog: Press the Windows key + R.

2. Navigate to the Game Settings File: Paste the following path into the Run dialog, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username (found under This PC > Windows > Users):

   C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows

3. Open the GameUserSettings File: Press Enter. Right-click the GameUserSettings file and select "Open with" > Notepad (or your preferred text editor).

4. Add the Configuration Lines: At the bottom of the file, add these lines of code:

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

5. Save and Close: Save the changes and close Notepad. Mouse acceleration and smoothing are now disabled in Marvel Rivals.

By following these steps, you'll unlock more precise aiming in Marvel Rivals, enhancing your gameplay and competitive edge.
