Game Overlay Access Steam Mac

Might be a corrupt .plist.

Aug 21, 2014 The latest Steam update, which drops support for OS X 10.5 among other things, introduced a bug that causes the program to ask for you to enable universal access for the in-game overlay even if it already was prior to the latest client release. Here's a fix for that glitch: 1) Make sure Steam. Steam overlay not working on Mac, can't use Steam Controller. Trying to use Steam on Mac, but the in-game overlay isn't. Access = turn on Enable Access for.

Do a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Quit the application.

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check â€™Show Library Folderâ€™. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.

Restart the computer, open the application, and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.

If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
