Nothing good happens after 1am
Hardware and IP logging won't do a lot, it's already done when someone gets banned for cheating, though cheaters can bypass these methods without a lot of effort.
The methods they use to bypass these things don't always cost a lot of money and in this case seem to be free where they work almost 99% of the time.
It's better to work on detection methods, though that's also going to be a tricky thing.
F2P games will always have a high % of cheaters, there might not even be a direct solution except creating a paywall for competitive to at least get rid of some.
Though most servers will pretty much become bad after midnight as there will be less players available and well, some of these things might happen.
Best thing to do is to stick to servers in timezones where it's more active.
