do you have a ppg proxy parameters? If yes prefer custom parameter, ref models are not dealing well with proxy parameters!

thanks for the reply ben - a bit of further investigation has shown that we only get this error when amending expressions is enabled in the ref model settings, so I'm trying to make sure there are no scenes with that setting ticked. The parameters are mostly on shapes which are linked to curve controls, and therefore shouldn't be receiving animation from any other source, but will check it out.
No idea though if its related to losing animation.

The losing animation thing is pretty heinous. We've had the one time
here, at least it is very infrequent. The only thing you can do AFAIK
is save out actions regularly, usually every scene saved during that
doomed session of XSI also has no animation, so animators can lose an
entire day's worth of work. We couldn't reproduce it either.
As for the locked params, my guess is something is trying to animate
the locked parameters. Either a keyframe, action, something, and that
is why the error is there. Perhaps the parameters are locked but
keyable? You can make them non-keyable and hidden, so when animators
key that object they won't see an error, but as long as the "errors"
aren't freaking anyone out it shouldn't be an issue.
