About this mod Machine translation
//marketing
Are you annoyed by the behavior of your favorite car on the road? Have you tried fine-tuning the processing to no avail? Are you endlessly crashing into trees that you are 100% sure is not your driving skills? Then this mod is for you!
It takes the loose and poorly made traction values set by R* and throws them out the window (and away from you!). With this model you'll have more grip, better high-speed steering and Franklin passes the windshield after frequent visits to Pillbox Hill Medical Center while testing the new Challenger's top speed on the motorway at barely a fraction of a second! Oh, happy days!
//What's under the hood?
It edits the material in a way that it provides more grip, better friction on road surfaces, and less slippage for vehicles on tarmac, gravel, mud, snow and wet surfaces. It also adjusts the tire's material properties to match the new value, benefiting your ultimate driving experience. Weeeee!
// how
Simple. Just replace materials.dat with OpenIV in the example path below:
Root：\ Folder \ Grand Theft Auto V \ mods \ update \ update.rpf \ common \ data \ materials
//Is there anything else I need to know?
No, everything's fine, Jimmy. If desired, I can add the edited lines as a separate text file for users of the wave-modified materials.dat to download. Mark me and I will fly to your salvation.

With this mod you will have more grip, better steering at high speeds and Franklin's frequent visits to Pillbox Hill Medical Center after flying through a windshield whilst testing that new Challenger's top speed on a highway are reduced to almost none! Oh, jolly days!
// What's under the hood?
It edits the materials.dat in a way that provides more grip, better surface friction on roads and less skidding for vehicles on tarmac, gravel, dirt, snow and wet surfaces all-combined. It also adjusts tyres' material properties to go along with new values to benefit your ultimate driving experience. Weeeee!
// How to
Simple. Just replace the materials.dat using OpenIV within the example path below:
Root:\Folder\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\materials
// Anything else that I need to know?
Nope, all's good, Jimmy. If needed, I can add the edited lines as a separate text file for download for those who wave a modified materials.dat. Tag me and I'll fly to your salvation.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
