Not receiving income every 20 minutes

assassins-creed-revelations

My automatic income has been spotty, at best. Having logged several hours of playtime, I've received income exactly twice. I've specifically tried the following, which seem to have no effect:

  • Renovating banks
  • Not renovating any banks
  • Completing missions
  • Returning to Animus Island / completing Desmond's memories
  • Doing absolutely nothing for 20 minutes
  • Visiting banks without money waiting for me
  • Taking over Templar-controlled areas
  • Inducing Templars to attack Dens

I have the Steam version of the game and it is up to date as of 12/11.

Are there others experiencing this problem? Are there any known workarounds?

Sadly, this seems to be treated by Ubisoft like it was an intended feature in many situations. This leaves some of the situations described in the question unexplained, but according to Ubi's solution center:

There are a number of things that factor into the bank income timer. The most important thing to remember is that the timer/counter is specific to the Constantinople map. This means that the timer will reset at certain points during gameplay (ex: when playing Den Defense, Altair missions, Cappadocia, etc). Also, the timer will reset if a mission is aborted.

One more reason to never participate in a Den Defense mission.
