This is specifically a protobuf-net question. I am guessing that somewhere in your model is a property / field declared simply as "object". That isn't enough information for ptotobuf-net to work with, because the protobuf data format doesn't include type metadata. It would have no way of recreating the object during deserialization.
There *is* some implementation-specific support for spoofing this, but I would need a bit more context before advising this route - my default answer would be "make the model more specific". If you can share details of the model (here, or direct to me by email if you can't drop it on a public forum) I may be able to advise further.
