(classic) SharedUIPanelTemplates.lua:864: attempt to index field 'PortraitFrame' (a nil value)

[R-Adrian]

in WoW classic, i decided to tweak some CVARs via AIO and i think i managed to mess some of them that are not supposed to be touched... i'm now getting this LUA error on reload: (note; AIO is the only enabled addon at this point of my testing)

Message: Interface\SharedXML\SharedUIPanelTemplates.lua:864: attempt to index field 'PortraitFrame' (a nil value)

}
use2XFrameTextures = true

(*temporary) = "attempt to index field 'PortraitFrame' (a nil value)"

note: this error seems to be caused by the CVAR useHighResolutionUITextures being set to 1, because classic WoW has no support for high resolution textures.

Yeah it's a blizzard bug, they removed the textures but just forgot about that cvar probably https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-source/blob/b4c95406db2c2f027cb5c31df12fdb20b098943a/SharedXML/SharedUIPanelTemplates.lua#L862

Cleaning up old issues; reopen if this is something that should be addressed.
