Disable Mouse Lag in Marvel Heroes!

Mouse acceleration is a major detriment in shooters, and Marvel Rivals is no exception. The game defaults to mouse acceleration with no in-game option to disable it. Here's how to fix that.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Since the game lacks an in-game setting, you'll need to edit a configuration file. It's easy; just follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter.
2. Locate the "Marvel" folder, then navigate to "MarvelSavedConfigWindows".
3. Open "GameUserSettings.ini" with Notepad (or your preferred text editor).
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

5. Save (Ctrl + S), close the file, right-click it, select "Properties", check "Read-only", and click "Apply".

Now mouse acceleration should be disabled, resulting in improved aim.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration in Windows

It's also crucial to disable mouse acceleration within Windows settings:

1. In the Windows search bar, type "Mouse" and select "Mouse settings".
2. Click "Additional mouse options" in the top right.
3. Go to the "Pointer Options" tab.
4. Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision".
5. Click "Apply" and "OK".

Understanding Mouse Acceleration

Mouse acceleration alters your sensitivity based on mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in high sensitivity, slow movements in low sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this inconsistency is detrimental to aiming in games like Marvel Rivals. Consistent sensitivity is key to developing muscle memory and improving accuracy.

With mouse acceleration disabled, your aim will be far more precise and consistent.

Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
