Around wave 12 the game will freeze for appx 15 seconds and then come back to a black screen where I can see my character's health bar and the GUI. I've only encountered the Fortress twice so far but the freeze has happened at roughly the same wave.

Switched to Vulkan, no freeze or black screen at all.
