We have just updated the version to support point cloud files with spherical harmonic orders from 0 to 3. Point cloud files(.*ply ) in non-Gaussian format are not currently supported.

Same here, also on UE 5.4 on Win 10, I have a Gaussian Splat *.ply file that can be opened with "https://playcanvas.com/supersplat/editor/" without any issues. File is an uncompressed *.ply file.
When trying to open it I get the error about: "Ply properties header format invalid, pls check it first".

Unfortunately I can not share the file atm.

But here's the header part of the file that gives the error:

ply
format binary_little_endian 1.0
element vertex 1656760
property float x
property float y
property float z
property float f_dc_0
property float f_dc_1
property float f_dc_2
property float opacity
property float scale_0
property float scale_1
property float scale_2
property float rot_0
property float rot_1
property float rot_2
property float rot_3
end_header

I hope this gives you a hint that would allow you to point me in the right direction for troubleshooting.
Thank you !
