Marvel Rivals is still in pre-season as Season 1 isn’t scheduled to start until early January. Right now, the game is extremely popular as a fantastic multiplayer experience, but there are still some quirks that need to be ironed out. Fortunately, NetEase are listening to feedback from players, and they have shared a temporary fix for horrid aiming issues before a permanent solution is offered in Marvel Rivals Season 1.
Before next year begins, players are able to enjoy NetEase’s Christmas event that includes a new game mode and free skin. As for the future, NetEase are looking to add cross-progression, but they claim “platform-specific rules” are holding them back. And, in regard to what’s not official, leaks have revealed an assortment of heroes and villains set to join the game’s roster in the future.
Next year should be phenomenal for Marvel Rivals, and it all kickstarts with Season 1 introducing a solution to the mouse acceleration problem.
Marvel Rivals Season 1 include mouse acceleration fix
On the official Marvel Rivals Discord, community manager, James, regularly interacts with players and provides updates on NetEase’s plans for the game. Today, James shared that NetEase are aware of the mouse acceleration problems and are coming up with a permanent fix.
James posted, “Thanks for your feedback regarding the mouse acceleration. We [NetEase] are now working on the solution and will introduce this feature in the upcoming Season 1”.
We don’t know what the solution is, but it could just be an in-game toggle. As for what mouse acceleration is, it’s a big problem that results in horrid aiming.
Basically, mouse acceleration determines the distance your cursor travels based on how fast or slow you move your mouse with your hand. Fast movements mean the cursor travels a greater distance, while slow movements means it travels a shorter distance. From this summary alone you can see how it results in issues with aiming.
While we have to wait until Season 1 for the solution to arrive, James offered the following fix for right now:
- Search for Mouse Settings in Windows search box
- Select Additional mouse settings under the Related settings heading
- Switch to the Pointer Options tab, then untick the Enhanced pointer box
- Select Apply and then Ok
