PBEM++ issue

I already logged a support issue but thought i'd post here also.

Recently purchased Pike and Shot and been trying to arrange a private PBEM++ match with my opponent. I issued a challenge,two in fact and my opponent issued one also. We are unable to see each other's challenges but can see our own challenges and challenges of other players. I'm using the up to date Matrix version and my opponent is using Steam version. I installed my steam version to see of there would be any difference, still couldn't see his challenges and he couldn't see mine. I canceled my challenges and reissued a challenge with my steam version to see if there was any difference, no difference.

It's custom battle, French vs Spanish, issued by budd
My opponent issued his challenge under user name lukedog , don't know if he left his up or took it down, mine 1 challenge is still up.

Also bought Sengoku Jidai and we have started a PBEM++ game and are playing without issue.

Great games.

Don't think so, still can't see my opponents challenge. Sengoku Jidai works fine for us.

Signed up for the emails and receive them just fine for Sengoku Jidai. We can't start a PBEM++ because neither of us can see the others challenge.
thanks for trying to help though.

VP responded via support, looks like my opponent has the original version of Pike and Shot, not Campaign version i have..... if that's true there not compatible in PBEM++. Once my opponent emails me we'll know for sure.

thanks for the efforts zakblood.

New problem
We started a battle. My opponent accepted and he bought his troops and then the turn went to me and bought my troops and sent the turn back and now he is unable to open the file, the error he gets is "failed to load file"
He uninstalled his steam copy of campaigns and reinstalled and still gets the same error message.

Game is a Random map battle, open battle, wooded. Between budd and lukedog. Can someone check the game out

We started a second game where he issued the challenge, "Pavia" we'll see if this one errors out.

I'm using the up to date Matrix version of Campaigns and he's using the Steam version of Campaigns.

We're playing Sengoku Jidai pbem++ without issue so far.
