To be sure, read the install guide here:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2360

It links also game files which are proven to work.

Upon redoing the steps to get the game setup and starting it I noticed that part of the problem is that it keeps placing me into the cell over and over again the screen will fade to black and reset where I'm looking. hope this somehow helps find a solution https://youtu.be/OOsZTWvHjag

That sounds really like a screwed up installation.

Delete your "Daggerfall Workshop" folder (in your user's directory, where your player.log is) and start DFU again, letting it rebuild all its setting. It will also ask you again for your arena2 folder; point it to the correct one (use the data files provided in the thread I linked).

Create a new character.

Directly in Privateer's hold, hit F5 and take a screenshot of your skills and stats (screeenshot key is F8).

Upload this, together with your new player.log, DFTFU_Environment.log and settings.ini.
