Disable "normal" code-d, close VS, remove %appdata%/code-d, 
launch VS & enable code-d beta serve-d, enjoy.

We're in the same boat dude. I just did clean install of whole D 
ecosystem from 6 months old setup where everything was more or 
less working, and followed this treacherous deprecation message, 
got code-d 0.17.1 with betastream option instead of my trusty 
beta 0.17.9... OMG it is broken in so many ways...
it overwrites dub/serve-d paths settings, it messes with 
permissions, it removes already existing dub, dcd and serve-d 
executables!!!
Reverted back to "deprecated" beta, at least it somewhat working, 
it is still incredibly slow on showing meaningful completions, 
doesn't seem to recognize half of the project, and seems to be 
completely not working with workspaces, but it is better than 
nothing.

Overall I've got an awful experience from code-d. Now, 
unfortunattely, there is even no adequate editor with decent 
performance & usability on Windows, I mean yeah there is still 
visual-d but it takes about 3 seconds to actually show 
completions, and code-d is completely broken right now.
