Arcade games closing after splash screen on iMac

I have signed up for Apple Arcade which I am mainly using on a 2015 iMac. There is an intermittent problem for myself or other family members using Family Sharing where the games start to launch but close after the splash screen as if we do not have a subscription. Sometimes it is solved by signing back in and out of the app store or the Apple ID in preferences.

Apple Arcade not loading games on Mac OS kid account I've just signed for Apple Arcade, so my kid would have access to games on her account (We have family share enabled). I've installed a bunch of games both while logged on my admin account, and some while logged on her account (asking for permission). While I'm able to load and play the games if logged to my admin account. No game is able to load if accessed thru her account. I click on the game, it seams to try to load and then closes, sending us back to App Store screen, telling me that Apple Arcade is Subscribed, And only providing an only click option (not now). As you can see on the image. I've noticed a lot of posts regarding similar behaviour on Apple TV. And some questions about mac. But was not able to find solutions. Looking for help on this. Thanks

Attempts to set up Family Sharing freezes System Preferences app on Mac mini M1, Ventura. As soon as I attempt to add a family member to Family Sharing, what looks like a blank dialog is displayed and the whole System Preferences app becomes completely unresponsive. I have to resort to using Force Quit to get rid of the app. I saw another user has had the same problem, and it was suggested a startup in Safe Mode might help, so I tried that approach but had the same non-responsive result. Everything else is working as it should. There are no account issues. Any help is appreciated.

Unable to launch a few apps with the following pop-up ("XXX app” is damaged and can’t be opened. ...) When I try launching a few of my apps, I get the following pop-up: “XXX.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. Delete “XXX.app” and download it again from the App Store. I tried setting the "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere", then deleted the apps and re-installed them multiple times, but no change. The two apps I'm most concerned about are: My Movies 2 Pro - Movie & TV MetaDoctor Pro The strange thing is that they were both purchased from the App Store and are still being actively supported. I have over 150 apps, and this only affects a small handful of apps (I think 5). This issue has been around since I migrated to my new Mac Pro about a year ago. Just been too busy to try to address this up until now. When looking through the system log, I see the following: com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: Coalition Cache Hit: app<application.dk.mymovies.mymovies2proformacosx.96012537.96012653(501)> [340743] com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: Coalition Cache Hit: app<application.STARware.MetaDoctor-Pro.105341507.105341514(501)> [341049] Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ---Ken
