since FD were off quite a bit, so im assume that this will not touched by him
, and bugs fixing still handle by Hauktakker (just a mere bugs) maybe u can ask him.
but as far im concern yes indeed EBF does kicking a lot lately, and im been noticed that this issue accur mostly when huge spawns (either elites,tinker march, or something does trigger infinity loop on game logic, etc). so the best guess will be on the "how volvo handle the mechanic of how data being sent and recieve to make it more smooth lately", if its too huge maybe its consider a spam and broke the session. it also does happen on some old version EBF because the data type of armor,hp values as now armor quite low so this is not the issue anymore.

like i've said before, i am not going to spend hours of my time testing potential issues any more, i need a proper crash report with what spawned, heroes picked and maybe anything you remember that happened around the time of the crash

it's like finding a needle in a haystack solving random server crashes

indeed its like finding a needle on haystack, because its too random to pin point the crashes.

rounds :
- the undying rounds or LCs, Axes.
- beast master after the 2nd ursas appear.
- DP upon ult.
- drake kings if there were 2 kings or WK's.
mostly when elites that have summon skill and when the summons was called like on hardcore its will be crash often then casual mode.
- and lastest boss if there was huge lags then it will be crash.

skills :
- tinker used marching machines 3x.
- rubicks ult
- etc (by this, its mean some time even non spammer or non summoning heroe,s the error still accur upon the begining of next rounds eg: if the next round were BM or such)

some other things that need consider:

items :
- lenses does not give magic amp

stats :
- magic dps are dulls doesn't scaled well.

Here's a proper report:

The lobby match seems to be kicking players out at a very random rounds,
sometimes it can be at the very beginning or it can be later in round 10-15.
The cause of the constant disconnecting is probably because of many
heroes/bosses skills, models, spawns are too large or too instant.
Some bosses that can spawn their minions, such as Wraith King Boss,
Ursa Boss, and the Zombie King boss can spawn a huge amount of zombies
instantly. (Sometimes I think that the cause of the lag is probably because of
Valve's latest custom servers update, I dunno.)

There's some heroes that still has a broken spell that doesn't seem to be working properly
or too overpowered (i.e. Clockwork, Razor). Rubick's Arcane Echo is not triggering when
the player casts a spell (any spell), even if the skill is maxed out, it still doesn't trigger
the Arcane Echo.

(My theory is that these lags starts to happen after you reverted the new version to the
old version, certain hero changes, and boss bugfixes.)

i was sure i fixed razor and clockwerk; i'll take a look at arcane echo i didn't touch stuff i made it's possible smth went wrong in the conversion back

I have more to tell, it seems that you forgot to give the old pa crit an actual crit, it doesn't really
show me the crit precentage and the chance, it only shows the info for the crit. It also doesn't
trigger any crit at all. And also, Round 16 boss seems to be too overpowered, he keeps on
spawning flocks and after dying it just made another flock leader, over and over.. and over..
it's really frustrating, maybe nerf a little?

so your point are the same as mine ImOK, so yeah we do agreed on spawns that might causes the crashes. and about razor and clock aready fixed, and about this r16?

man, if i were honest the whole game are inbalanced neither casual nor hardcore,

EG: zombie round 3-5k dmg per hit not include the skills if they were elites vs tiny with 0 armor and have taras its only stand 2 hits and die. the minus armor items are so freakin dull, the stat from items are under values. i meant 4000-6000 (dps + items) vs 2.000.000 HP and 100-200 armor and 75%-79% magic resistant (note on this stage the max min armor u can have about 40-75) and the boss hit like a truck.

conclusion:
its as the title "EPIC", its was to be like that par inbalance or its was miss calculated or just pure insanity, either way we cant argue about it, since we dont have the power to vote for it. but for sure player are nerfed while bosses get buffed: eg: AXE round, Pure huge AOE swing with darkhole cant be silent. good luck with melee heroes (this is pure insanity no argue about it).LOL

but 1 thing that should put in bottom line are "INT or Magical type are DEAD", keep that in mind int or nuker will not having tons of HP and armor while several rounds have magic resistant quite high and hit like a truck so its doesnt make any senses to play as int or nuker, prefer play physical type even minus armor item are NOT meta, while pure items indirectly are nerfed alot since basic stat from other dmg are going down, so 30-35% are too low, but all of that its better than being a casters. get RIP on drake,wk,bm mostly, XD.

upon all that crazy stuff the game still finishable, but the term were not "epic" anymore "insane" maybe fit better for the title.

Почему всякий раз, когда играю в epic boss fight, после ребута доты, качает что то. Как это убрать?

Tiny's grow doesn't seem to give any stats/armor/dmg.. did you forgot to add it when reversing
to old EBF?
