If I read the release notes correctly, then it shouldn't be possible to select the controller option in the settings any more if no controller is connected. In my case however it seems the controllers *are* detected, but they simply don't do anything ;-)
It would probably be a good idea to always enable keyboard controls for such cases.
I think the problem is the Rewired plugin, which has only very limited controller support out of the box.
I'm just guessing, but you may be querying for the presence of any controller, independent of it's actual support; see https://guavaman.com/projects/rewired/docs/SupportedControllers.html#controllers... for more information and how to get reasonable controller support (untested, but this may explain your problem ;-)).
