Essential improvements
- The following are third-party alternatives that emulate aspects of GameSpy services and might be used to enable online functionality in some games. Note that support varies between the options and games, so refer to the game-specific articles for details.
| Third-party software | Description |
|---|---|
| C&C:Online Launcher with stats and ranking | Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, and Red Alert 3. Popular Steam guide |
| GameRanger | GameRanger lists many GameSpy games as supported. |
| UniSpy The UniSpy Project |
The goal of this project is to be fully compatible with the entire GameSpy network. It is currently at an alpha stage, and as such there are few games that work on it. |
| Modern Game Master Server Emulator | Open-source emulator for GameSpy v1 master servers, although the project eventually grew past that original goal. |
- OpenSpy was an open-source clone of GameSpy servers. The official site went down in Summer of 2015 and was never recovered. Some slightly updated forks may exist, but they are unmaintained.
- A cybersecurity researcher by the name of Luigi Auriemma have documented aspects of the internal workings of GameSpy over on their personal website. This is not of use for regular users, but might be of interest for other researchers or modders.
