It appears that distant objects such as trees don't face the player but rather apply the camera/player rotation which in my opinion is quite wrong and its a pretty common technique to make things look like they are 3d while they are technically just a sprite by always facing the camera/player. This seems to also affect to what is culled which is quite noticeable when it rains as the fog shows the shape of distant things, near the screen edge more things are visible than in the center which doesn't really make sense.
Here is an example, its a bit hard to follow but the tree in the center will change the orientation when the camera changes orientation.
So to me this is clearly wrong or a bug, the tree should face the player and not use the players rotation at all.
I think attaching a log is pretty useless as there is nothing to read about this bug in the log, if the log is absolutely required to track down this issue please let me know.
