Description

Enter a map, then sar_tas_play test; toggleconsole

// test.p2tas
version 6
start now

After 120 ticks, the TAS should end and control should be given back to the player. Instead, the player cannot move until sar_tas_stop is ran.

This is unique to start now, as can be seen by replacing start now with start map sp_a2_laser_chaining, for example.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a map with sar_tas_play test; toggleconsole using the shown start now script, and compare it with start map sp_a2_laser_chaining. Trace the TAS start and stop handling around sar_tas_play and sar_tas_stop; done means control returns to the player automatically after 120 ticks without running sar_tas_stop.
