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

1. Wrong SkyGFX preset - Using a “PS2 extreme / cinematic” preset instead of default
2. Timecycle mismatch - SkyGFX + a modded timecyc.dat (huge culprit)
3. ENB / ReShade / SweetFX still active - Even if “disabled”, files can still affect color
4. 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:

1. Use default SkyGFX config - Replace skygfx.ini with the original one
2. Remove other visual mods - Delete ENB/ReShade/SweetFX completely (not just disable)
3. Restore vanilla timecyc.dat - Or use a SkyGFX-compatible one
4. In skygfx.ini, try: `` ps2sun = 0 dualPass = 0 ``

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.

Alright, normal-human version 😄 Do exactly this, no theory.

FIX SKY GFX ORANGE SCREEN (2 minutes)

2️⃣ Open this file

Go to:

GTA San Andreas folder → skygfx.ini

Open it with Notepad.

3️⃣ Change ONLY these lines

Find them and set them exactly like this:

ps2sun = 0
dualPass = 0

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

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”)

If it’s STILL yellow

Do this final nuke:

1. Delete:

skygfx.ini

1. Re-extract SkyGFX fresh
2. Don’t install any preset

Result you should see

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

Done. No extra steps.
