=== Assistant: Short answer: yes and no — SkyGFX can look orange, but yours is way too orange. ===
Short answer: yes and no — SkyGFX ''can'' look orange, but yours is ''way'' too orange.

What you’re seeing is almost always a misconfiguration, not how SkyGFX is meant to look by default.

===== What’s going on =====

SkyGFX restores PS2-style visuals for GTA SA:
* Warm lighting
* Strong sunsets/sunrises
* Yellow/orange tint at certain times of day

But in your screenshot:
* The entire scene is permanently yellow/orange
* Whites look yellow
* Shadows are overly warm

That means something is stacking on top of SkyGFX.

===== Common causes =====
# Wrong SkyGFX preset - Using a “PS2 extreme / cinematic” preset instead of default
# Timecycle mismatch - SkyGFX + a modded timecyc.dat (huge culprit)
# ENB / ReShade / SweetFX still active - Even if “disabled”, files can still affect color
# SkyGFX settings - ps2sun = 1 - dualPass = 1 - neoWaterDrops = 1 - Combined with high saturation → nuclear yellow

===== What it should look like =====
* Neutral during day
* Warm only at sunrise/sunset
* Whites stay white
* Greens don’t turn mustard-yellow

===== Quick fix checklist =====

Do these in order:
# Use default SkyGFX config - Replace skygfx.ini with the original one
# Remove other visual mods - Delete ENB/ReShade/SweetFX completely (not just disable)
# Restore vanilla <code>timecyc.dat</code> - Or use a SkyGFX-compatible one
# In skygfx.ini, try: ``<code> ps2sun = 0 dualPass = 0 </code>``

===== Verdict =====

❌ This is not normal SkyGFX behavior
✅ SkyGFX can be warm, but not piss-yellow 24/7

If you want, you can paste your skygfx.ini here and I’ll tell you exactly which line is causing this.

Do exactly this, no theory.

==== FIX SKY GFX ORANGE SCREEN (2 minutes) ====

===== 1️⃣ Close the game =====

===== 2️⃣ Open this file =====

Go to:

<syntaxhighlight>GTA San Andreas folder → skygfx.ini

</syntaxhighlight>

Open it with Notepad.

===== 3️⃣ Change ONLY these lines =====

Find them and set them exactly like this:

<syntaxhighlight>ps2sun = 0
dualPass = 0

</syntaxhighlight>

If they already exist → change the number
If not → add them anywhere

===== 4️⃣ Save and close Notepad =====

===== 5️⃣ Remove extra color mods (important) =====

In your GTA folder, delete (if present):
* enbseries folder
* enbseries.ini
* dxgi.dll
* d3d9.dll
* reshade-shaders folder

(These cause nuclear yellow even when “off”)

===== 6️⃣ Launch the game =====

==== If it’s STILL yellow ====

Do this final nuke:
# Delete:

<syntaxhighlight>skygfx.ini

</syntaxhighlight>
# Re-extract SkyGFX fresh
# Don’t install any preset

==== Result you should see ====

✔ Normal daylight
✔ Warm only at sunset
✔ No mustard filter

Done.
No extra steps.
