I'm afraid that didn't work. I did play around with the power options and nothings seems to help. I always get 450 rating, so, nobody wants to play with me "sad face"

Go to power options in your laptop and force minimum processor state to 100% and run the benchmark then, if you don't know where it is https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ba ... r-options/

I did it, while ending all processes possible from task manager, changing CPU affinity and priority. No effect whatsoever.

See my post. Your CPU is fine, there must be some problem with the CPU rating calculation.

But I've had <200 rating for weeks. Was that wrong? Is my CPU actually bad for playing FAF?

@Rowey
There seems to definietely be a problem with CPU rating. 450 is the max (=worst) value i think. I have seen various people with maxed CPU rating recently, which doesn't make sense. Even the most crappy Intel i3 Laptop from years ago should not receive such a rating.

I have a i7-7700HQ as well (Laptop, GTX1060) and my CPU rating is easily between 150 and 200, this is not a slow CPU.

Not much can be down with Cpu rating due to it beeing a Mobile Chip AFAIK

It worked. Thanks!
Any tips on how to fix my 450 CPU rating? I've spent so much time without any advances! I have a i7-7700HQ,16GB RAM, GTX1050, Windows 10.

run the game outside of faf -> open the chat window via ENTER -> move the window a bit -> close the game -> try again in faf

FA runs with no problems from Steam. But when running from FAF client I get a black screen, in game, with menus and sound still working (see screenshot).
No mods, just a Seton's against normal AI. I've attached log files.
