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 are mastering maps, heroes, and abilities, discovering their preferred playstyles and main characters. However, as the competitive ladder beckons, some players 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. This guide explains why your aim might be inaccurate and how to fix it.

Why is my aim inaccurate?

In Marvel Rivals, mouse acceleration/aim smoothing is enabled by default. While beneficial for controller users, many keyboard and mouse players prefer to disable it for improved precision, especially for flick shots. The game currently lacks an in-game setting to toggle this.

The Fix: Manually Disabling Aim Smoothing

This fix involves modifying a game file – it's not cheating or modding; it's simply adjusting a setting that many games allow in their options menus. Every time you adjust in-game settings (crosshair, sensitivity, etc.), this file updates.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the Run dialog (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 file's end, add these lines:

[/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, prioritizing raw mouse input.

Enjoy improved aim precision in your Marvel Rivals matches!
