*** how i fixed many crashes *** (oodle / failed to uncompress animation) [PC]

After 0.2 i started having MANY crashes:

- Crashing when trying to load an area.
- Crashing due to failing to uncompress an animation.
- Crashing when accessing stash or a new stash tab.
- Crashing when rerolling loot in ritual.
- Crashing when opening the character passive tree
- Crashing with a [TEXTURE] Invalid Header message
- Crashing when selecting an atlas node on world map
- Crashing before login screen (often after a crash of other origin)


CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-14900KS
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 super
RAM: 64 GB

I was mad, tried everything until i found this post on POE1 forums:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3561853/page/1

I found there the solution:

UNDERCLOCK THE CPU

I underclocked by 1% using the Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU), as suggested in the quoted thread.

I had ZERO crashes since then over almost 100 hours played.

Hope this will help someone, until (if) GGG fixes it.
