ProfilerCountersInfo.cs - NullReferenceException on NetworkManager.Start[...]()

I’m seeing a NullReferenceException when starting my NetworkManager with the following script. Replicable with any of the three start methods. Strangely everything still works and I can move a character on the host and see it move on the clients.

Versions:

Unity 2021.1.7f1
MLAPI 0.1.0

Script:

using MLAPI;

public class AutoStartNetworkClone : NetworkBehaviour
{
  private NetworkManager netManager;
  void Start()
  {
    netManager = GetComponentInParent<NetworkManager>();

    netManager.StartClient();
  }
}

Error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

It looks like for some reason it didn’t update your package cache. Try deleting the Library/PackageCache/com.unity.multiplayer.mlapi folder, then remove MLAPI from the manifest.json in the Packages folder and finally add it again using the link I posted above. That should work.

@LukeStampfli amazing, that worked perfectly. Appreciate you taking the time to answer!
