Games : evolve: is there a workaround for the complete broken pvp-party-matchmaking?

i just recently bought evolve together with a friend of mine. when we open up a game lobby as two, the other 3 player icons just stay on "searching.." for minutes and minutes.

this has to be some severe bug on the PC - when i am starting a lobby alone, it's instantly filled up with players.

the only workaround we found so far, is that one player starts to search for a game alone and the other immediately joins. then sometimes you will end up in the same lobby as your friend. but this only seems to work like 1 out of 10-20 times, so it's very annoying.



is there really no way i can play a pvp game together with my friend so far?
