Once the game starts, anything in StarterGui that gets modified will not change for players already in the game. To do this you either have to make a LocalScript inside of the object you want to change the text of and do a script as is
-- Local Script
wait(.5)
script.Parent.Text = "io"
Another way to do this for when a player joins would be like this
-- Server Script
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
wait(.5)
Player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextButton.Text = "io"
end)
The reason why is that StarterGuis is basically a service that clones children within it to the PlayerGui of the player.
local TextButton = script.Parent.TextButton
wait(.5)
TextButton.Text = "io"
The code above is a local script that is inside of a ScreenGui. We get the textbutton and wait 0.5 seconds and then change the text to "io"
