This problem has plagued me for months. The game launches and runs fine but often as soon as I join a match, I get kicked by EAC with the error:
Error Code 0x4000a
EasyAntiCheat violation - you have been kicked due to a detected network interruption between client and the Hunt: Showdown server. Please contact support through our website or social media channels
Verifying files which resets the EAC install script sometimes allows me to get past the error for as long as the game client is not closed.
(Update) Adding logging for the game specifically +log_verbosity 4 +log_WriteToFileVerbosity 4 shows that there are corrupted files:
<02:45:38> [CryCloud] RECV messageid: 34
<02:45:42> [CryCloud] Heartbeat Sent
<02:46:12> [CryCloud] Heartbeat Sent
<02:46:36> [Error] [EAC] Client Integrity violation detected. Type : GameFileMismatch. Message: Unknown file version (game_hunt/textures3-part6.pak).

<02:46:38> [CryCloud] RECV messageid: 3
This results in the kick:
<03:02:06> CPlayerManager::Client_OnDisconnect(cause=17, desc='Remote disconnected: Client integrity violation<ReasonType>10'), reasonType EAC_KickedViolation
<03:02:06> [EAC] Client disconnected by server. Cause : EAC_KickedViolation. Reason: Remote disconnected: Client integrity violation.

I'm not sure how this is happening but it explains why verifying files eventually makes the problem go away. Running smartctl does not seem to show any drive issues:

It does seem like either files are downloading in a corrupted state when the game updates, or something is actively corrupting them.
Other things I've tried (likely no longer relevant):
Connecting via VPN to bypass any local network blocking configurations
Tying with a different OS installed on the same computer (Fedora, Windows). Windows did work; Fedora did not.
Deleting the compatdata folder
Forcing EAC to re-install before booting the game (seemingly possible by changing the registry configuration user.reg in the proton prefix for the game)
Deleting EAC files and verifying they are re-downloaded
Examining logs (proton log, anticheatlauncher.log) does not seem to contain anything relevant to the network interruption error
The problem seems to be related to Proton in some way but I'm not able to figure out way.
