Road Rash 30th Anniversary Edition FMV Video Modes

Find the FMV setting

Open the Restroom menu, select Graphics and Sound, then open Videos. The choice affects the live-action cinematics; it does not turn the anniversary edition into a different game build.

Compare all four official video modes

No videos

Disables all FMV cinematics

Standard videos

Uses the classic videos as shipped with the 1996 PC game

High-res videos

Uses recovered master-tape footage exported for fullscreen playback on a modern 16:9 display

High-res upscaled videos

Applies EA’s AI upscaling to the master-source footage to increase resolution and repair some age-related artifacts

Choose a mode for your priorities

• Use Standard videos when you want the closest presentation to the 1996 PC release.
• Use High-res videos for recovered master footage without the optional AI-upscaling treatment.
• Use High-res upscaled videos when sharper playback on a larger modern display matters most.
• Use No videos when you intentionally want to skip cinematics or are isolating an FMV-related problem.

Know the Steam Deck FMV warning

EA labels the game Steam Deck Playable but says it may occasionally crash after an FMV. The team reports reducing the issue without eliminating it. Save manually before important transitions because the game has no autosave.

Why the high-resolution modes exist

EA recovered Road Rash source-master tapes from its physical media vault, digitized them, and re-edited the scenes frame by frame. High-res uses that recovered material; High-res upscaled adds an optional enhancement layer.
