Sv_cheats 1; impossible to enable

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

The entire point of this CVAR is to block cheats. If you could just disable it, it'd be useless. This is primarily a multiplayer option, plus, of course settable per skill.

One thing that I couldn't figure out is why you need to restart the map to enable them.

It's a server CVAR, which means it is game state. All current server CVARs are part of the savegame.

But why is it stored in savegames? I don't remember how it worked in Quake engine games.
Edit: now that i think of it cheats can be used anyway in single player games.

Does that mean the only way to enable it, after typing sv_cheats true in the console, is to start a new game?

Sv_cheats 1; impossible to enable

Hey folks,

Regardless of whether I type "sv_cheats 1" or "sv_cheats true" into the console whilst in-game and receiving the message that said command will be active for the next game, nothing changes. After typing in the command and restarting my last save, then typing in a Doom cheat code, the game still says, "sv_cheats must be true to enable this command".

How the heck do I solve this problem?
