I tried to post this earlier but it didn't go through for some 
reason...

I had the same problem and went to github to report the issue but 
it's already there with a PR pending. It's a one-line fix. so I 
manually copied what the PR does and it is now working for me.

I had to edit the dub.json file in the Dgame package (under 
~/.dub/packages) and remove the "versions":["0.4.0"] line. Saved 
the file and rebuilt my own app. All good :)
