The "New Game" button doesn't work.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.3.9 on an iMac 700mhz and 256mb RAM.

When i try to click on the New Game button, the main menu disappears and all i can see is a chat window:

Is it just my Mac or it's a problem of the application?

It's just your Mac. That's rather odd thinks

Ye, that's strange...i can join and play other games no problem, but still i can't host...
Is there any file or extention needed by Defcon that i might not have?

Make a report in the bug reports topic.

Check ~/Library/Logs/Defcon/ for a file called "debug.txt". This file is recreated every time you start up Defcon. So, attempt to start a new game, and post the debug log either here, or in the bug reporting topic.

I'll report the Defcon log shortly, btw u should know that many windows users have the same problem in the introversion software support forums, some say the new game button doesn't work, others can host but can't join, or the tutorial button only shows the loading window and doesn't start (i have this problem as well).

You might want to remove your authentication key from your post.

Does that mean the client application isn't connected and then i can't host games but i can join them cause the port is different?! I'm not an expert of logs and debugs...

It's the demo version auth-key...

Exact same thing is happening to me. Deleting all preferences and library entrances and reinstalling from scratch achieves nothing. I got three good games in before it hit me.
