sc.ini is patched by the D installer to work with the latest Visual 
Studio version without additional settings. You can disable this in the 
setup.

Visual D does not touch sc.ini, but reads most of the settings from it. 
The linker options for x64 are usually overwritten by the settings on 
the "Projects and Solutions->Visual D settings->DMD directories->x64" 
options page.

Check the settings on the page given above. If everything seems ok, 
please post the buildlog or the *.build.cmd file in the output directory.
