How to Fix Your Aim in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals: Mastering Your Aim by 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 players climb the Competitive Play ladder, many 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.

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 it. While helpful 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, a simple PC fix exists. This involves modifying a game file using a text editor like Notepad. This is not considered cheating or modding; it simply overrides a setting many games allow you to change directly within their menus. Modifying this file is how the game updates settings like crosshair and sensitivity.

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

1. Open the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (If unsure of your username, navigate to This PC > Windows > Users).
3. Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
4. 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 the file. You've successfully disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration, ensuring raw mouse input for improved precision.
