is there anyway to force the number of threads? i rent a few servers and on the dual socket ones it only ever uses <50% of the cpu no matter what I set the number of threads to. I have to open more than one solver process to max it out, but if I want to run a preflop sim I can't really do that since they usually max out the ram.
Which version do you use? If it's a pro one it's limited to 12 threads. If it's an edge one and it doesn't use all the cores then please email
support@piosolver.com so we can try to solve the problem. Please describe exact hardware (CPU name, RAM amount, number of CPUs) as it's going to be the most useful piece of information.

After I nodelock a certain strategy, mark lock selected combos, how come PIO decides strategy isnt good and overrides it?
Pio doesn't override locked combos or nodes. That's the whole point of locking

I figured nodelocking doesnt change strategy for previous streets. Am I missing something?
It does (if the previous street is not locked) although if you lock just one turn for example the change is going to be neglible as there are 48 other turns and those are still not locked. In general we recommend against using node locking on anything but the first street in the tree right now because locking all turns for example is very time consuming and practical (for now).

For preflop solver, is it possible to just nodelock a certain decision, instead of all decisions?
It isn't. You can lock the whole node or particular combos but there is no "decision locking" functionality as of now.

what is the difference between "dont lock strategy" , "lock all hands", "lock selected combos". it is a bit confusing.
"don't lock strategy" is obvious: you change the strategy but you don't lock it.
"lock all hands" means that you lock all the hands at given point so they are set to whatever strategy you have chosen and won't change at all when re-solving.
"lock selected combos" let you choose which combos are locked and which aren't. The solver isn't allowed to change strategy for locked combos during solving. More here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJEPGSIpIBM (point 12).
This feature allows you to for example lock all top pairs to be calls but leave rest of the range for the solver to decide what to do with.

really don't understand how node locking work, what is the difference between changing the range in the popup bet or check and changing the range in the small popup next to the radio button.
The first is to choose new strategy and the second is to choose which combos should be locked if you only want to choose some of them instead of the whole node (see the link above about combolocking).
Small announcement: it's major holiday in my country. This means that there are going to be bigger delays than usual when responding to 2p2 posts/emails as well as sending licenses during next 3 days. Thanks for your patience!
