How to Fix Your Aim in Marvel Rivals

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

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a whirlwind! Players have explored maps, mastered heroes, and discovered their preferred playstyles. However, as the competitive ladder beckons, many are grappling with aim inconsistencies. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. A simple fix exists to disable a key contributor to this problem: mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

Why is my aim inaccurate? How do I fix it?

By default, Marvel Rivals enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable this. While beneficial for controller users, this feature often hinders mouse and keyboard players, impacting precision and quick aiming. The solution involves a manual adjustment to the game's settings file. This isn't cheating; it's simply modifying a setting that many games allow you to change directly within their menus. Every time you adjust in-game settings (crosshair, sensitivity, etc.), this file updates.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration

1. Open the Run dialog: Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut.

2. Navigate to the settings file: Paste the following path into the Run dialog, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username (found 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 (or any text editor).

4. Add the code: At the file's end, add these lines:

   [/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.

Now, enjoy improved aim precision in your Marvel Rivals matches!
