Throughout Season 0 - Dooms' Rise, *Marvel Rivals* has garnered incredibly positive feedback from its player base. As players immerse themselves in the game, exploring its maps, heroes, and their unique abilities, they're figuring out which characters align best with their preferred playstyles. However, as they advance and engage more deeply in Competitive Play, some have reported feeling a lack of control over their aim. If you're experiencing similar frustrations and feel your aim is off while adjusting to the diverse characters in *Marvel Rivals*, you're not alone. Many players have discovered a straightforward solution to address one of the primary culprits behind this issue. If you're curious about why your aim might seem off and how to correct it, the guide below will provide all the information you need.
How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals
In *Marvel Rivals*, mouse acceleration/aim smoothing is enabled by default, and unlike many other games, there's no in-game option to toggle it on or off. While this feature can benefit controller users, it often hampers the precision required for flick shots and quick aiming with a mouse and keyboard. Whether you prefer to keep it on or turn it off depends on your personal preference and the heroes you play.
Fortunately, PC players have a simple solution to disable this feature, enhancing their aim precision. This involves editing the game's configuration file using a text editor like Notepad. Rest assured, this isn't considered modding or cheating; you're merely adjusting a setting that many games allow you to toggle. When you change settings like crosshair or sensitivity in *Marvel Rivals*, you're actually updating this file. Here's how you can do it:
Step By Step Process For Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals
- Open the Run dialog (Shortcut is Windows + R).
- Copy and paste the following path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual user profile name where your save data is stored:
- C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEHEREAppDataLocalMarvelSavedConfigWindows
- If unsure about your username, navigate to This PC < Windows < Users to find it.
- Press enter to access the location of your system settings save file. Right-click the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
- At the bottom of the file, add the following lines of code:
[script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
Save and close the file. You've now successfully disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration in Marvel Rivals. For an extra layer of precision, you can also add these additional lines of code below the ones you just added to ensure raw mouse input is prioritized:
[script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
RawMouseInputEnabled=1
