I have both these issues and followed directions given on reddit. I reinstalled game twice, and still no change to checksum. I've also waited nearly 2 hours on the initializing game splash screen to no avail. Each time the game had to be force quit. Please help. I cannot play the game at all. I've done everything I can think of.

Please do a full clean re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test
In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.
That should get you the right checksum for sure, 1.4 (165c).

Thank you so much for your help! That fixed both of the problems. I must have had some shit files messing with Vicky 3. Thank you again!
