5. Save the changes (Ctrl + S), then close the file.
6. Right-click GameUserSettings.ini, select "Properties", check the "Read-only" box, and click "Apply" and "OK".

You've now disabled mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals. Your aim should feel significantly improved.

Remember to also disable mouse acceleration in Windows settings:

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

Understanding Mouse Acceleration and Why It's Detrimental

Mouse acceleration alters your cursor sensitivity based on your mouse movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, slow movements in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this is detrimental in shooters like Marvel Rivals.

Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory and improving aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.

With mouse acceleration disabled, you'll enjoy a more precise and consistent aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.

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