Loading game failed with error

[Nerve33]

The game crashes on startup with the message

Loading game failed with error:
Script link failed: Runtime error: unresolved import
'AGS2Client::IsAchievementAchieved^1'.

The game files may be incomplete corrupt or from unsupported version of AGS.

Tried installing the "original" version through beta menu.

Tried replacing the 'agsteam.dll' and 'steam_api.dll' files as recommended here.

Neither worked.

EDIT:
When I choose "Configure" instead of "Play Gemini Rue" and press "Save and Run" I get the message telling me I'm missing "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll". I tried installing and repairing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015" and it still isn't there.

I've now spent over 3 hours trying to get this game to run. I'm ticked off and tired, what the heck?

EDIT2: Okay the "older" version finally started, but I can only play it in a window by opening the executive in the game folder (it won't start from Steam). Otherwise it crashes with this message:

There was a problem initializing graphics mode 960x720 (16-bit).
(Problem: 'The requested adapter mode is not supported')
Try to correct the problem, or seek help from the AGS homepage.

EDIT3: The older version is finally running okay, I think.
I right clicked on the game executable "Properties"->"Compatibility"->"Run in 640x480 screen resolution"
And in the game settings (winsetup.exe) you need to choose "2x nearest-neighbour filter" or "2x anti-aliasing filter"
Still would be fun to be able to run the actual new version from steam. So if you know the way to do it I'll appreciate it.

Damn, what an ordeal. The new version should solve the screen resolution issue, but there's been a lot of people getting the AGS2Client error, and the developer hasn't seemed very determined to fix it.
