Today came an update, 3.3 GB big, but the problem still exists, the expected Amounts differ compared to before, but you still can't launch the game with the Apex content enabled.

A new 3 GB update on linux in the Apex preview. Yay, thx for updating, but it is still broken,
DataFile too short, and the game does not start.
