Openspy is a stand alone server...
I expect that NIVAL will be releasing the new patch for OPENSPY very soon at GOG and Amazon.
There is what is the official patch and the work around...
Since we now have BK in STEAM, you can expect some other great news coming soon.

Major, if we implemented the work around....would we simply just remove it from the "Run" folder and install the "Patch" that is coming out? also...will it be available for everyone and will keep things compatible??

The Patch is free and will be offered to everyone with Anthology. At the moment it only resolves the GameSpy issue. I expect the final Patch to be announced and released in a matter of days.
There is already a Temporary Patch available which does the same thing but it does not overwrite the User Interface Code. So the best method will be to acquire the patch when released.
**
The only thing you must do is run the patch and it will do everything for you.
You do not have to remove anything.
The Patch changes the Proprietary Server to OpenSpy, away from GameSpy, which is now shut down.
**
New downloads and purchases of Anthology will already be patched from my understanding, so nothing will be required at some point. This mean Amazon.com and GOG.com will already release patched versions of BK. But the plan is to also host the Free patch at several media sites until we hope to accomplish a total changeover to 1.3.
Further plans are to incorporate specific patches to RT, BH, GT and MK. Each title will need a slightly different patch based on the User Interface.
**
Blitzkrieg Anthology is already on STEAM and more DLC will be coming.
I will tell you that more changes are coming with the NIVAL-STEAM partnership. So continue to check for updates about that.

Major, thank you...but, what I meant was the original Openspy that got here that we put in the "Run" folder....do we need to remove that prior to any patches that are coming out?? Or, just leave it as it has no impact on compatibility. *Also...I will prob get the new blitz that will be patched on Steam for my other PC...but, have original blitz on old one and will hope to be able to get it patched an compatible with the new patch coming out

The Official Blitzkrieg Anthology 1.3.1 Patch will overwrite the temporary patch.
When the Computer asked you if you want to overwrite files... click yes.
The Patch will automatically populate and update the Game Files.
We are already working on the STEAM PATCH as well.
I will be announcing the Blitzkrieg Anthology 1.3.1 Patch at Steam soon at NIVAL's direction.
In the near future, Rolling Thunder and several other titles will be added. The Patch can be adapted with minor adjustments for any Blitzkrieg Title, if all players have the same MOD or an Original Title without MODS. I discussed this previously in another multiplayer topic.
Also... NIVAL will arrange for Amazon.com and GOG.com to offer both the Blitzkrieg Anthology 1.3.1 Patch and the patched Blitzkrieg Anthology 1.3.1 Downloads.
EDIT: I misspoke on the above statement. Some of the details are still being discussed. When the Patch is released, all download sites will be posted in this forum, as well as in the STEAM Blitzkrieg Community. The Patch will also be downloadable at OpenSpy. We will make sure it is available for everyone. Sorry for the confusion.
The benefit of the new patch is fairly straight forward. If a new server should come on-line later, the Patch can easily be updated for any new server. This will prevent another GameSpy type issue in the future.
