If you really need to use a ddraw component to get VC to work use this one as it should be allowed through the anti-cheat checks:

Quote from: Silent
GTA III/GTA VC DDraw Component: (last update: 20.05.2018)
This ddraw.dll component fixes some game issues which couldn't be addressed from within the ASI due to the fact ASI files load relatively late in those games.
  • If the settings file is absent, the game will now default to your desktop resolution instead of 640x480x16
  • DirectPlay dependency has been removed - this should improve compatibility with Windows 8 and newer
  • The game will not crash on startup if Data Execution Prevention is enabled for all applications anymore
  • "Cannot find enough available video memory" error showing on some computers has been removed
  • Path to the User Files directory is now obtained differently, hopefully increasing compatibility and future-proofing the games more
  • FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag has been removed from IMG reading functions - speeding up streaming
  • All censorships from German and French versions of the game have been removed
  • Fixed an issue which would cause games to freeze if III/VC/SA were running at the same time
