Why do I always have to reenable Steam Permissions on my Mac?

Why do I always have to reenable Steam Permissions on my Mac? - Waterfalls

When I launch any Steam games like Cs:Go or TF2, My engine always says that the overlay is not on before launching, causing me to always open up my System preferences and I have to put in the password and double click on the check box next to steam before I play. Is there any way to set steam so that I do not have to do this before each game?



Best Answer

It happens after a steam update, I believe.

You may be enrolled in Steam beta updates, which would lead to permissions being reenabled everytime Steam or a Steam game starts.
