Marvel Rivals: Mastering Aim – Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a blast! Players are mastering maps, heroes, and abilities, discovering their preferred playstyles and main characters. However, some players climbing the Competitive Play ladder are experiencing aim issues. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have found a simple solution: disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing. This guide explains why your aim might be inaccurate and how to fix it.

Marvel Rivals Aim Smoothing Fix

Marvel Rivals defaults to enabled mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it. While beneficial 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 your playstyle and chosen heroes.

Fortunately, a simple PC fix exists. This involves manually adjusting the game settings file using a text editor like Notepad. This isn't considered cheating or modding; it's simply toggling a setting that many games offer as an option. Modifying this file is how the game updates settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

Steps to Disable Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration:

  1. Open the Run dialog (Windows key + R).
  2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual username: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (If unsure of your username, navigate to This PC > Windows > Users).
  3. Press Enter. This opens the location of your save file. Right-click GameUserSettings and open it with Notepad.
  4. At the bottom of the file, add these lines:
[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
RawMouseInputEnabled=1
  1. Save and close the file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration are now disabled, prioritizing raw mouse input.

Enjoy improved aim and precision in your Marvel Rivals matches!
