Relic broke something with their patch - devs on both sides are trying to figure it out.

An answer from Relic (https://www.facebook.com/companyofheroes) :

The modding community is very important to us. However our first priority is to secure the integrity of players' online experience. Unfortunately as you note some of the modding abilities have been closed, and that is because they allowed for security exploits that had the potential to ruin the game for online players.

While most of our modders would never create a hack to cheat in competitive multiplayer, there are people in the gaming community who seek to profit off cheating (for example removing fog of war).

Our priority is to keep the game fair, and without cheats that could affect automatch and competitive multiplayer, while exploring ways for us to allow the great mods that we saw with the original CoH.

It is a slow process at times, and that can be frustrating. However we do wish to allow for more complex modding in the future, and we have been having conversations with our mod community at the Relic News forums which is traditionally their hub: http://forums.relicnews.com

Ideally we will be able work with them to support modding going forward and the inclusion of Steam Workshop, though just for maps now, opens up a very exciting opportunity for a wide variety of players to enjoy their work, as opposed to the more limited population of the original CoH who enjoyed the great mods created for that.

I already talked with them about Steam Workshop and trust me, unless odds have changed, it won't be coming anytime soon. The reason, they are busy focusing and supporting CoH2 so they don't have time to support CoH and adding Workshop to it will require heavy modifications.

Since it is not going to fixed anytime soon.
Could I remove the new steam version and use the other versions I have on steam?
Will the latest EF work with other versions?
And if not which version would and where could I download it?

I do not care If i remove my ability to play online, I just play skirmish anyway.

Time for conspiration theories.

What if relic is looking at mods, Eastern Front especially, as a hinder for getting the most players possible to play CoH2? ???

They will claim to update CoH1 to get the workshop working but eventually they will patch CoH2 and leave CoH1 unmodable. This is followed by a apology that they don't have resourses to update.  :-X The conspirasy!  :P

i believe this is what actually happened, perhaps they will make us wait for 2 more years when they have coh3 , maybe they will consider fixing coh1
