You can jump the queue if a friend is in the game. We just made sure someone is always logged in and join them through the friends menu.
The matchmaking was broken on the weekend. It was patched yesterday.
It's not their fault. This is an indie studio whose last game topped out at 7K players. They are nearly 500K right now (Steam + PS5 crossplay) which is half the copies sold within a month of release. They don't have the manpower, code, or infrastructure to scale to this unexpected success. It is the #1 game on Steam, topping everything else in concurrent players.
