XBOX controller doesnt work now?
I usually use a wired Xbox controller (I use the afterglow brand) when playing because it gives me a better response time in combat situations. After updating to play episode 3 my computer recognizes the device as working and in the loading screen it says press start (instead of click to start) so it knows I'm using a controller but it doesn't actually work when I press any of the keys. My controller works fine in other games and I even tried my boyfriends controller and restarting the game and steam itself but I still can't use the controller in game.

Can you please clarify if you had the controller plugged in before starting the game each time? If you plug the controller in after starting the game, the game may not register it as an input device. I recommend try closing/exiting out of the game, then plugging the controller in. Then start the game, and you should be able to use the controller. If you still experience the issue, try starting the game again with the controller plugged in, and while the game is loading, try moving the analog sticks until the game loads to the Start screen, then see if the game registers the controller as an input device.
I have tried having the controller plugged in before even opening Steam. I have tried plugging it in while the game is loading (just in case that worked). I have tried restarting my computer while my controller is plugged in and uninstalling/reinstalling drivers (not a huge deal, the drivers haven't changed since 2006.). When I move the analog sticks or press ANY buttons nothing happens. I know it registers that its there to use because it actually says press to start instead of click to start. In the settings menu under controls it only shows the controls for keyboard/mouse and no other options.
I have the same issue, but the game actually says "click to start" no matter what I do.
@Blondeezy and @Nafjan I recommend try Verifying your Game's Cache and see if you are then able to use a controller in-game. If you still experience the issue, you can also try uninstalling and re-installing the game (this will not harm your save files), then try starting Episode 3 with your controller plugged in.
