What does mouse acceleration do?

The basic gist is that the sensitivity changes depending on how fast you move the mouse. For example, if you move your mouse slowly, you'll reach shorter distances, whereas if you flick your mouse, you'll go farther. While this setting has a great effect on paper, it makes your ability to aim inconsistent, making it difficult to get used to.

While it is possible that editing the game files will make NetEase anti-cheat think you're using unfair hacks in the game, there is no official word on it.

How do you disable mouse acceleration

Untick 'Enhance pointer precision' found below 'Select pointer speed' option

There are two ways to turn off this setting in the game. If you want to turn off this feature without altering the game files, you can do it through Windows:

1. In the Windows search bar, type Mouse.
2. Select "Mouse Settings."
3. Scroll down to "Related Settings" and select "Additional Mouse Settings."
4. Go to the Pointer Options tab.
5. Untick Enhance pointer precision.
6. Select Apply.

However, this will disable the acceleration feature throughout the Windows system, making it unusable for anyone in other instances aside from gaming. As such, if you want to disable the feature in the hero shooter game only, you can make alterations in the game files. However, only do this if you are sure about it:

• Open Windows Explorer.
• Paste the following path into its search bar, replacing the C with whichever drive Marvel Rivals is saved in, and insert the name of your User Profile in the "yourname" part: C:\Users\”yourname”\appdata\local\marvel\saved\config\windows.
• Locate the "GameUserSettings" file for Marvel Rivals.
• Open the file with Notepad.
• Paste the following at the end of the script:

[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False

bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

• Save the changes and restart the game.
