https://zdoom.org/wiki/CVARINFO
this states that:
latch: Changes to this CVAR only take effect upon starting a new game. This is only the case when changing it from the console, however.
is this wrong? when I use this and change the latched cvar with ACS script - it will not change until I start a new game.
I need to set a cvar in the start of the game, than the user cant manually change with the console during that game. so I need ACS to be able to change the value, but not the console.

Re: cvar latch
So this was a miswording in the wiki. But there is still an issue here:
Changing a latched cvar in the menu does not reflect the upcoming change, the menu instead sticks to the old cvar the way it was.
