Description

Launched game without editor hangs if 'demoplay test' is used with the 'Execute Console Command' node

Could be related to this JIRA:
https://jira.ol.epicgames.net/browse/UE-23342

User Description:

The only BP code in this project is this 1 picture, and it still causes the hang, in a BP only project

Test is a valid replay file that loads fine if I use the console directly. But if I try to use this console command BP node, (I am not using PIE but uproject->Launch Game with editor closed), then the game permanently hangs!

If you try to use Demoplay via a ConsoleCommand blueprint node, it hangs the game forever!

This is a critical bug because it means the only way to play a demo is by telling players to type into the console, which means a non-shipping build.

This bug basically prevents using demo recording in a full game release.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download the attached test project & unzip it
2. Right-click the .uproject file and choose 'Launch'
3. Once the game loads, press P (to activate the BP in the PlayerController)

Results: The game window will hang indefinitely

Expected: For the recorded demo to play without issue
