This error should be fixed in Debian since 05 July 2024 - source - Debian bug report mailing list
I will leave this repo accessable in case somebody is still being affected by this issue.
Also thank you all so much for telling people in need that this script exists.
It made me really happy to see this small thing help so many of you!
Script to allow your ICMP Socket to ping Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) used in Hunt: Showdown
- shutdown Hunt: Showdown and your Steam client
- download and run in terminal:
- after the script is finished, start your game and check server status of your game. Also try connecting to online match. If the game does not kick you, you're good to go
By defauld some Linux distributions do not allow certain ping connections for your ICMP socket by default
How can we fix this?
net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 $gid" where $gid is your group id number.
You can find your group id by using this command: id -g
If you wish to make this change permanent /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf needs to contain this setting for sysctl to apply it while booting your system.
This allows EAC to ping your ICMP socket and ensure connection between you and EAC. Otherwise Hunt: Showdown will kick you from multiplayer game.
