Mojave update causes tccd process to use a lot of CPU

In short: I use a Wineskin wrapper to run Skyrim on my mac. When Launching Skyrim, I am asked if I want to allow "Skyrim" to control my computer. I can't allow Skyrim to do so in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy because I simply can't add it to the list like any other app (neither with drag and drop nor with the + icon).

Moreover, launching Skyrim will start the tccd process which will never stop by itself and will use a lot of CPU.


I think it might be something to do with the new accessibility feature in Mojave because I had no problems with this app in High Sierra and sadly I can't revert anymore and the tccd process supposedly went up to using 500+% of my CPU which I don't know how is it possible.

Also, if I run Skyrim a second time, while tccd is already running, my whole computer freezes and I need to power it off by holding the Power button.


Any solutions on how I could maybe add Skyrim app to allow it to "control my computer"? When running the wrapper in testing mode it is supposed to give a text file log but Text Edit just freezes while trying to open which I think is also a permission issue since Text Edit opens fine otherwise and the problem wasn't there in High Sierra.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14)

Hey Mityu, I also use a Wineskin wrapper to run Skyrim, and when I updated to Mojave it stopped working. I use the wrappers provided by Porting Kit, and they had to re-release the wrapper for Skyrim to use the native Mac window driver instead of X11. Have you tried that? Skyrim now works for me, and actually when I opened it I had the option to add it to the list of apps that can control my computer, but when that's selected it causes my computer to freeze, so I had to disable it. The tccd process (which it looks like is always running) still jumps up to a huge amount of cpu usage, and if I force quit it it just restarts (as I'm sure you've tried) but game performance is still acceptable.
