How to Fix Your Aim in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals: Sharpen Your 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, as the competitive ladder beckons, some players report frustrating aim inconsistencies. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have discovered a simple fix: disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing. This guide explains why your aim might be inaccurate and how to resolve it.

Why Disable Mouse Acceleration/Aim Smoothing?

Marvel Rivals, unlike many games, enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing by default. While beneficial for controller users, this feature often hinders mouse and keyboard players, making precise aiming and flick shots difficult. The preference for enabling or disabling this feature is entirely personal and depends on individual playstyles and chosen heroes.

The Fix: Manually Editing the Game Settings File

Fortunately, disabling this feature on PC is straightforward. This involves modifying a game settings file using a text editor like Notepad. This is not considered cheating or modding; it simply overrides a default setting, similar to adjusting in-game options like crosshair or sensitivity.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Access the Run Dialog: Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut.

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

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

3. Open the GameUserSettings File: Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file, right-click, and open it with Notepad.

4. Add the Code: At the bottom of the file, add the following lines of code:

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

5. Save and Close: Save the changes and close Notepad. You've successfully disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration, prioritizing raw mouse input.

Enjoy significantly improved aiming precision in your Marvel Rivals matches!
