Sadly, unless you have a Time Machine backup to grab the old version from you are likely going to have to find an alternative. If you do happen to have an older version that isn't broken let me know and I will gladly host it for all to get here.
An alternative is to use a beta version of the Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac. This is a beta version; as such you should expect some beta like functionality.
