The Marvel Rivals mouse acceleration woes have been rife in recent days, and despite players rushing for a DIY fix, publisher NetEase is urging you to hold off.

"At this time, we kindly advise against modifying any game files in Marvel Rivals, as it may lead to unexpected issues," warns a NetEase community manager in a Discord server, as posted on Reddit. "We truly appreciate your concerns about config file changes, and we want you to know that we are actively working on optimizing this aspect for future updates."
