SyncVars not updating on client

Question

I'm new to unity and trying to setup a simple chat system to better understand its networking api.

The system works perfectly when I play it from the Unity Editor, however if I launch as a standalone player my SyncVars never get updated.

I was able to solve the problem by changing my Awake() in Chatroom.cs to

     void Awake()
     {
         //this.chatManager = GameObject.Find ("ChatManager").GetComponent<ChatManager> ();
         this.chatManager = this.gameObject.AddComponent<ChatManager> ();
     }

Although this isn't a permanent solution since I want to be able to add and use the ChatManager from the unity editor.
